Gyro Nachos
Love to grab a Gyro sandwich on the run? You can have all the flavors of a Gyro but in the form of Gyro Nachos. Perfect for a party and full of Greek flavors! Make everything ahead of time and assemble when ready to wow your guests!
My husband Brooks is really the one that introduced me to Greek food and a gyro. When he travels, which is all the time, he eats Greek or Mediterranean food at least once during each trip.
He is drawn to a gyro and the flavors of cucumber, dill, lemon, lamb, and that tasty pita bread!
Know what I don’t see a lot of? Greek Nachos much less Gyro Nachos!
These are fun to serve like my Gyro tacos and my Fajita Nachos.

How to Make Gyro Nachos
First: In a medium saucepan, add your olive oil and heat to shimmering. Add your lamb and stir to break up the chunks.
Second: Add the Greek Seasoning Mix and wine and stir. Cook the lamb until it is done. Remove the lamb and place in a bowl.
Third: Preheat oven to 350F. Slice the pita bread into wedges, like a pizza. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes or until warm and toasty. Remove the pan of pita and add the lamb and feta cheese on top.
Fourth: Place back in the oven to warm the lamb and cheese for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted to your liking. Remove the pan from oven and add the toppings (tomatoes, onions, lettuce, olives, and tzatziki sauce). Serve to your guests or keep for yourself!

While onion is called out in the ingredients, it doesn’t appear in the directions. I was unsure whether to cook it in with the lamb or us it raw as a topping. I did that latter as some like them and some do not.
Sorry for the confusion. I must have left them off the instructions when I was typing. Yes, I used them as a topping instead of with the lamb because I have the same problem. A lot of people don’t like them, especially red onions if I use them. Feel free to add them to the lamb when cooking or save for a topping later one. Pickled onions also make a great topping. Thanks for reading!
What a fun “out of the box” idea for yummy nachos!
Thanks Sandi! I love a gyro but can never eat the whole thing myself!
These look delicious! I don’t think about making gyros at home, but I really should consider adding that to my menu list. These look like a great way to do.
Thank you for sharing this with us on the #HomeMattersParty. We hope to see you again when we open our doors at 12 AM EST on Friday.
Thanks for a great party!
Thank you Meghan!
I made a double batch of your tatziki sauce recipe, (from the chicken skewers) and loved it! I can’t wait to get the items to make these nachos to use up the rest…. Im completely in love with all the fresh greek flavors of this ! 🙂
Thanks so much Michele! I can’t wait to hear how you like them!
I just love Gyros and this is such a creative twist!
If these Nachos are anything to go by then the rest of June is going to be awesome. Tastebuds certainly do change – i can eat less chocolate cake but heaps more savoury these days. I think I should make these net time we want something fun to share with the kids on a Saturday night.
Thank you so much Jane!
This looks so delicious! I’ve grown to like lamb (like you, I think my palate is growing), and my favorite way to enjoy it is in a gyro. This is definitely a must try! So glad you were able to share this with us on #shinebloghop this week!
Thank you for a great party Maria!
Oh my goodness!!! Gyro Nachos! This sounds awesome, I love a good gyro.
Thank you so much Leigh!
I would love to try this, but I have no idea where I would get ground lamb in my neck of the woods. Thanks for sharing. Visiting from the Creative Corner.
I found my ground lamb next to the beef in my meat counter but some places only have it frozen. Maybe you can find it there. If not you can always use ground beef or turkey with the spices! Thanks for reading!
I want to make these super bad. They sound delish. Thanks for sharing with us at Family Joy Blog Link Up Party this week.
These look so fantastic, you don’t get much Greek food around here so I don’t get to try it very often. Gonna have to start making it myself when it looks this good!
I used to dislike lamb too, but I’ve taken a liking to it recently. Sweet potatoes have always been my fave though 😉
I love how my palate is changing!
I love recipe mash ups like this! So unexpected but it makes SO MUCH SENSE! Awesome!
Oh my gosh…I love gyros and gyro nachos sound amazing! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Share the Wealth Sunday!
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing on the What’s for Dinner Link up!
Thanks for a great party!
This looks amazing!!
Thanks so much!
Chris, I’m going to be making this one soon! Perfect summer meal!
Thank you so much Jean!
Love love love (like, really love) this idea! I can never go wrong with a Gyro, but putting one in nacho form is just genius!
Thank you Karly!
