Gyros

I haven't tried a ton of Greek food, but my friend made these for me once and I loved them!
I view it as the Greek version of the American BLT.
Only better.
Gyros
Recipe from Marta Webster

Greek Pita Bread
1 pkg. Gyro meat (looks like bacon)
sliced red onion
lettuce
roasted red bell peppers
sliced tomato
olives (optional)

1/2 pint sour cream
1/2 cucumber
1 large garlic clove
salt and pepper

Fry gyro meat (as you would bacon).
Meanwhile, slice up veggies.
Combine sour cream, cucumber and garlic clove in a food processor and pulse until smooth.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Remove gryo meat and set on paper towels.
For each pita:
Spread small amount of sour cream sauce over half of pita.
Layer meat, lettuce, onion, pepper, tomato and olives.
Fold pita in half.
Dip in remaining sauce, if desired.
