Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless lamb shoulder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Pita bread
• 1 piece Cucumber, thinly sliced
• 2 pieces Tomato, thinly sliced
• 0.5 piece Red onion, thinly sliced
• 100 grams Feta cheese, crumbled
• 200 grams Tzatziki sauce
• 400 grams Frozen French fries
• 500 milliliters Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the lamb. Cut the boneless lamb shoulder into thin strips.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.

Step 3

Add the lamb strips to the marinade and coat well. Let the lamb marinate for at least 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Step 4

While the lamb is marinating, prepare the French fries. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 180°C (350°F).

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, carefully add the frozen French fries and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Fry in batches if necessary.

Step 6

Remove fries with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season with salt while still hot.

Step 7

For the gyro, heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Add the marinated lamb strips to the pan in a single layer. Cook the lamb for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.

Step 9

Warm the pita bread in a dry pan or briefly in the microwave until pliable.

Step 10

To assemble each gyro wrap, place a warmed pita bread on a flat surface.

Step 11

Spread a generous tablespoon of tzatziki sauce over the bread. Layer with cucumbers, tomato slices, red onion, and some crumbled feta cheese.

Step 12

Place a portion of the cooked lamb strips over the vegetables.

Step 13

Roll the pita tightly around the fillings to create a wrap.

Step 14

Serve the gyro wraps with a side of freshly cooked fries. Enjoy your meal!
