Why This one

a few words from me

Chicken Gyros accompanied by a delicately crunchy vegetables and crispy baked tortilla? That sounds delicious! Gyros is a great dish for both parties and family dinners ... Instead of breasts, I used chicken legs because the meat is juicy after baking.

9. Slice other half of cucumber, shred lettuce, wash rocket (rucola) and dill

10.Layer meat, vegetables and sauce in the tortilla baskets in order :

lettuce, sweetcorn, meat, sauce , thinly sliced cucumber, rocket (rucola), meat and sauce again

Tzatziki sauce:

1. Use a grater to grate half cucumber in a small bowl. Add pinch of salt to it and mix, then let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes. This will help draw out the water from the cucumber, so that we don’t end up with a watery tzatziki sauce. Pour out water from cucumber.

2. In a medium size bowl, combine the yogurt with pinch of the cayenne pepper, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 tbsp lemon juice, dill, pinch of salt and cucumber. Stir everything well and adjust with salt and pepper as necessary

3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
