Recipe Notes

It’s is a great idea to make the gyro meat in bulk and then portion and freeze it.

The tzatziki sauce can be used in other recipes as well (such as the chicken souvlaki recipe)

Swap out the gyro bowl toppings to switch it up- bell peppers, cauliflower or baby spinach all work well.

Do not marinate the meat longer than one hour as the salt and baking soda will break down the proteins too much and cause the meat to lose moisture as it cooks.
