Ingredients

  • 2 cups chicken gyro
  • 1 Yukon gold potato cut into sticks
  • cup extra virgin olive oil total
  • 1 ripe tomato sliced
  • ½ red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 Greek pita bread
  • dried oregano
  • paprika
  • sea salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • chili flakes optional

For the yogurt sauce

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
  • 1 garlic cloves minced

Instructions

  • Gather the chicken gyro. If you are making gyro the same day, when it's ready, place it in a bowl and cover with aluminum foil to keep it warm while you prepare the other ingredients.
    If you use leftover gyro, add it to a frying pan with a tablespoon of olive oil and crisp it up over medium-high heat for 5-10 minutes.
  • Make the fries. Peel and slice the potato. Add 1/4 cup of olive oil to a frying pan. Fry the potatoes on medium-high heat until golden. Transfer to paper towels to drain the oil and set aside.
  • Make the sauce. While the potatoes are frying, make the yogurt sauce. Add the sauce ingredients to a medium bowl and stir to combine. Season to taste with sea salt.
  • Prepare the pita. Brush the pita bread with olive oil and toast it for a minute or two in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Assemble your bowl. Add some gyro, sliced tomatoes and onions, and some olives. Season the tomatoes with sea salt and dried oregano. Add cut-up toasted pitas and the yogurt sauce, drizzle some lemon juice, and sprinkle paprika and chili flake

Notes

  • Additional toppings

  • Rice or orzo. Instead of fries, make some basmati rice or buttered orzo.
  • Crispy chickpeas. For texture and flavor. 
  • Lettuce. Try our maroulosalata, it is perfect with gyro bowls.
  • Lemon potatoes. They go with almost all meals. You can't go wrong with crispy lemon potato.
  • Roasted vegetables. If you have leftover briam, it will go great in your bowl!
