Beef & Spinach Gyros image

A gyro typically is made of meat, often lamb, roasted on a spit and served sandwich-style in folded pita bread. It's topped with tomato, onion and a Greek-style yogurt. Tradition takes a slight twist with the use of ground beef, spinach and ripe olives. Opa! -Mary Johnson, Coloma, Wisconsin

These gyros were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they had used less chili powder.

I'm not a big fan of beef, but I really enjoyed these gyros. The spinach and feta cheese helped to balance out the flavor of the beef.

I made these gyros for my husband and he loved them! He said they were the best gyros he's ever had.

These gyros were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they had been cooked in a slow cooker instead of on the stovetop.

The gyros were good, but I found the tzatziki sauce to be a bit bland. I would probably add some more garlic and lemon juice next time.

These gyros were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they had been cooked on a grill instead of in a pan.

I love that this recipe uses ground beef instead of traditional gyro meat. It makes it much more affordable and easier to make.
