Gyros pita
Greece · Europe

Gyros pita is a Greek street-food wrap filled with thin slices of meat from a vertical rotisserie, commonly pork or chicken. Tomato, onion and tzatziki accompany the meat in warm pita bread. Unlike kalamaki, which consists of grilled meat cubes on a skewer, pita gyro contains shaved meat.[2][1]
Akis Petretzikis offers a home adaptation using thinly pounded pork leg. Oregano, sweet paprika, garlic and onion powders, olive oil, white wine vinegar and honey season the meat. It is cooked in a grill pan before being cut into fine strips, then wrapped in pita with tzatziki, tomato, onion, parsley and fries.[3]
