Handhelds Lunch Main Dishes Sandwich

Here the gyro gets a clever shortcut: seasoned beef or lamb is pressed straight into a tortilla and smashed crisp, no pita or rotisserie required. Piled with lettuce, tomato, red onion, and crumbled feta, it delivers all the flavor of a street-cart favorite in a handheld package. It is fast enough for a weeknight and fun enough that everyone wants to build their own.

Ingredients

1 Lb Ground Beef (or Ground Lamb)
4 Large Tortillas
1 Tsp Garlic Powder
1 Tsp Onion Powder
1 Tsp Mild Smoked Spanish Paprika
1 Tsp Oregano
1/2 Tsp Ground Cumin
1 Tsp Salt And Pepper
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Cup Iceberg Lettuce - Shredded
1 Cup Tomato - Diced
1/2 Cup Red Onion - Thinly Sliced
1/3 Cup Feta Cheese - Crumbled
3-4 Tbsp Tatziki Dip / Sauce

Directions

Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat.
Combine the ground meat with the garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Divide the meat into 4 equal balls.
Place one meat ball onto the center of each tortilla and press it into a thin, even layer, leaving a small border around the edges.
Lightly oil the griddle if needed.
Place each tortilla meat-side down onto the hot griddle and press gently with a spatula.
Cook for 3–4 minutes until the meat develops a deep brown crust.
Flip the tortillas and cook for another 2–3 minutes until the tortillas are golden and the meat is fully cooked.
Spread tzatziki over the cooked meat.
Top with lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, and feta cheese.
Fold in half or wrap like a gyro and serve immediately with extra tzatziki and lemon wedges if desired.
