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!

Just take me to the Greek Nachos Recipe!

How to Make Gyro Nachos

I was never a fan of lamb until recently so I guess you can say that my palate is “growing up” and getting more mature, unlike my sense of humor.  I think my taste bud turn-around is coming after dropping most of my sugar and processed foods that were in my diet.

Brooks still reminds me when I eat a sweet potato that I used to HATE them.  Now I really like them and eat them all the time. People change, especially me!  After making my Greek Seasoning Mix, I was desperate to try it on some lamb.

A gyro is a perfect vehicle for trying lamb for the first time.  Lamb is a small, yet integral, part of a gyro but there are so many other flavors in it.  Bright and crisp cucumber, crunchy lettuce, salty feta cheese, juicy tomato, briny Kalamata olives, and that warm flatbread.

Tips for making Greek Nachos

• Prepare the ground lamb a few days before and freeze it. Thaw it out when ready to serve and save time
• Use homemade Greek Seasoning to customize your flavors
• Use the freshest ingredients for the toppings
• Warm up the store bought pita in the oven before assembling
• Use hummus if you don’t have Tzatziki sauce on hand

It’s hard to find fresh flatbread and pita where I live so I have to buy from the grocery store, but if you can find it fresh, get it!  My Pa used to get pita at a local Greek place in Jacksonville where they made it fresh every day, but sadly, that place is out of business now.

The only thing that I need to rev up store-bought pita is a warm oven and some olive oil!

If you are wanting a gyro but need to share with friends, make my Gyro Nachos!  Perfect for a party!

All the brightness of the fresh ingredients play so well with the warm pita bread chips and the spicy lamb make the perfect bite!
