Hearty Chicken Gyros image

I love reinventing classic recipes to fit our taste and healthy lifestyle. This recipe is quick to prepare and can be served with oven fries or on its own. You can add Greek olives, omit the onion, or even use cubed pork tenderloin for a new taste. -Kayla Douthitt, Elizabethtown, Kentucky

These gyros were easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought tzatziki sauce and it was still delicious.

The chicken gyros were good, but I thought the tzatziki sauce was a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and lemon juice and it was much better.

These gyros were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.
