Mediterranean Monday: Chicken Gyros

The Mediterranean Monday Hiatus is over! Today I am bringing to you a recipe for chicken gyros!

I was introducing the Mediterranean Lifestyle to my family of 6, and I wanted do it with something they would find fun and super yummy!

I kept calling the gyros – fajitas for the Greeks! Ha! (Texans relate to anything Mexican food)

Gyros are traditionally made with lamb, but my family is not a huge fan of lamb, so I made them picky eater friendly.

They are also PERFECT for a mediterranean meal because they are great for making in a group. If you know anything about the mediterranean lifestyle (click here to learn more), eating socially is a huge part! Put the toppings in bowls on the table, and you have a fun and easy family dinner!

Keep in mind, you can easily tweak the toppings to make the gyros a different style. Add black beans, corn and guacamole, and you have a southwest gyro. Make it shrimp and add slaw, and you have a pescatarian friendly option. Chickpeas are a great protein source for those who are veggie wanting to try this out!

When I was in college, I always ate at Pita Pit, and it gave me inspiration for many of my gyro creations. Check out there menu if you want to be inspired too!

If you are interested in making homemade pita bread, here is my recipe! It is actually one of the easiest bread recipes I have ever made!
