These Gyro Pitas have a creamy refreshing dressing with cucumber and tomato coated in mayonnaise, sour cream, and ranch dressing. The ground meat filling in these Greek style sandwiches is sweet and tangy.
Don't be scared off by the sauerkraut. It adds flavor and moistness to the meat but you could also leave it out if you prefer.
This is a super easy and quick dinner or lunch for two, ready in just 20 minutes. You can also use ground turkey or chicken.
Need something to go with it? Try this Potato Salad for Two or this Red Velvet Cake for Two. Use the rest of your pitas when you make these Italian Pita Pockets for Two.
