A gyro is really just a vehicle for sauce, and this one happens to be carrying Johnny BBQ and Hot Truff Aioli

Ingredients

Gyro Meat

1 pack ground beef
A few shakes of Hot Mother Truffler
1 tsp garlic powder
3 tbsp Johnny BBQ Sauce
1 small white onion, finely diced
4 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
4 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste

Quick Pickled Onions

½ red onion, thinly sliced
2 tbsp vinegar
pinch of salt

Sauce

2 tbsp Hot Truff Aioli
¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled

Assembly

pita bread
tomato, diced
cucumber, diced
chopped lettuce

Directions

Method

Combine the ground beef, Hot Mother Truffler, salt, pepper, garlic powder, Johnny BBQ Sauce, white onion, cilantro, and parsley in a bowl. Mix until well combined.
Slice the pita bread open to create a pocket. Press a thin, even layer of the seasoned beef mixture into the inside of the pita, then gently close it around the meat.
Place the stuffed pita onto a hot flat top or griddle. Cook on both sides, pressing lightly as it cooks, until the beef is browned and fully cooked through and the pita is golden and crisp.
While the gyro cooks, combine the sliced red onion, vinegar, and salt in a bowl. Set aside to quick-pickle.
In a small bowl, mix together the Hot Truff Aioli and feta until combined.
Spread a generous layer of the Hot Truff Aioli Feta Sauce on the pita, then more Johnny BBQ sauce.
Fill the pita with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and the quick pickled onions.
Fold, serve immediately, and enjoy.

Recipe Note

-Don’t skip the final drizzle of Johnny BBQ Sauce. It’s what takes this gyro from good to unforgettable.

-Let the quick-pickled onions sit while you prep everything else. The extra tang balances the richness of the beef and feta perfectly.
