Ingredients

• 1 pound ground lamb
• 0.5 pound ground beef
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pita bread or hamburger buns
• 0.5 cup tzatziki sauce
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, ground beef, minced garlic, chopped red onion, oregano, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.

Step 2

Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a large spoon until evenly combined.

Step 3

Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a round patty, roughly 3/4-inch thick.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (an internal temperature of 160°F is recommended).

Step 6

While the patties cook, warm the pita bread or hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster, if desired.

Step 7

Assemble the gyro burgers by placing each cooked patty onto a pita or bun. Top with tzatziki sauce, tomato slices, lettuce leaves, and crumbled feta cheese.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy the flavorful twist on a classic burger!
