Ingredients:
For the Gyros:
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (red, green, or yellow)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Tzatziki Sauce:
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat for keto)
- 1 small cucumber, grated and drained
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For Serving:
- Low-carb flatbread or lettuce wraps
- Fresh lettuce, chopped
- Cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
- Crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce:
- In a bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste. Cover and refrigerate while preparing the gyros.
- Cook the Beef and Vegetables:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add the sliced onion, bell pepper, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Assemble the Gyros:
- For each gyro, place a portion of the beef mixture on a low-carb flatbread or lettuce wrap.
- Top with a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce, fresh lettuce, and any additional toppings like cherry tomatoes and crumbled feta cheese.
- Serve:
- Fold or wrap the gyros and enjoy immediately.
Tips:
- Low-Carb Flatbread: Use store-bought keto-friendly flatbread or make your own using almond or coconut flour.
- Variation: Substitute ground beef with ground lamb or a mix of beef and lamb for a more traditional gyro flavor.
