lamb gyro
Pita meat sandwich
A lamb gyro is a Greek-American sandwich of seasoned lamb sliced from a vertical rotisserie, served in warm pita bread with tomatoes, onions, and tzatziki sauce.
The meat is typically a blend of lamb and beef formed into a cone shape that rotates against a heat source: I'll have a lamb gyro with extra sauce.
A staple of American street food and casual Mediterranean restaurants.
