Ingredients:
- 1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 cup red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 cup onion, chopped
- 1 can (10 ounces) Rotel tomatoes and green chilies, mild or hot
- 4 pita bread, warmed
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
Instructions:
- Prep your pita bread: Gently warm the pita bread in the microwave for a few seconds to soften.
- Cook the filling: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Sauté the vegetables: Add the olive oil, green and red bell peppers, and onion to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened and the beef is fully cooked.
- Combine flavors: Stir in the can of Rotel tomatoes and green chilies, allowing the flavors to meld together. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Assemble the gyros: Lay out four sheets of aluminum foil. Place a warmed pita bread on each sheet. Divide the meat mixture evenly among the pitas.
- Wrap and serve: Using the aluminum foil, carefully roll up each pita to form a gyro. Top with sour cream and crumbled blue cheese, if desired. Serve immediately.
Tips for the Perfect Gyro
- Lean ground beef helps to create a healthier and less greasy gyro.
- For extra flavor, consider adding your favorite taco seasoning or a blend of chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder to the ground beef.
- Customize the heat level by choosing mild or hot Rotel, or by adding additional jalapeños or other hot peppers.
- Experiment with toppings: Get creative with your gyro toppings! Try adding fresh tomatoes, lettuce, crumbled feta cheese, or a dollop of tzatziki sauce.
