The gyro is a traditional Greek dish that has become popular worldwide. It consists of seasoned meat, usually lamb, beef, or chicken, cooked on a vertical rotisserie and served in a pita with tomatoes, onions, and tzatziki sauce. The origins of the gyro can be traced back to Greece, where it was a popular street food. Today, it is enjoyed in Greek restaurants and food trucks around the globe. The key to a delicious gyro lies in the flavorful, tender meat and the creamy, tangy tzatziki sauce.
