Ingredients
1 New York Style Pita Fold (023)
5 slices Chicago Style Pre-Cooked Gyro Slices (189)
1 oz. Thinly Sliced Tomatoes
½ oz. Thinly Sliced Onions
1 oz. Grecian Delight Tzatziki Sauce (028)
Directions
Preparation Instructions:
1. Thaw pita bread (thaw enough for day’s usage) in bags out of box at room temperature at least 3 hours prior to use. Do not refrigerate bread.
2. Place thawed Grecian Delight Gyro Slices on a heated (350-375) flat top grill, cook on both sides for approximately 20 seconds per side. Serve immediately.
Tip: Thaw Gyro slices under refrigeration (33F-40F) for 24 hours before cooking
3. Lightly oil one side of the pita bread with vegetable or corn oil.
4. Place on a heated (350-375) flat top grill cook pita bread on both sides for 20-30 seconds per side to a light brown color
Tip: Do not use any flavored oils on pita, this will change the taste of the pita. (Use
liquid margarine product to add flavor to your pita bread)
5. Take pita bread from grill and place pita bread with bumpy side up on sandwich paper
Tip: Never serve pita with the bumpy side on the outside of sandwich, the appearance of the gyro is not appealing to the customer.
6. Place thinly sliced onions on the Warm Pita Bread
Tip: Onions should be sliced approximately 1/16” thick to allow onions to cook between hot bread and meat.
7. Take the Gyro meat slices from flat top grill and place on the warm pita bread
Tip: If gyro meat is cold you can reheat slices on a flat top grill. Do not add any oil to slices
8. Top gyro with thinly sliced tomato halves and chilled Tzatziki sauce
Tip: Tomatoes should be cut into halves and sliced approximately 1/4” thick. Tzatziki sauce should be kept refrigerated and served cold.
9. Wrap sandwich and serve
Tip: Sandwich should be served hot to the customer. If you make sandwiches ahead of time do not add Tzatziki sauce, tomatoes and onions to gyro sandwich until you are ready to serve the gyro to your customers. Keep sandwiches covered in
a steamtable pan.
