Remove the Gyros from the oven, cover with aluminum foil for 5 minutes.
To serve the Gyros:
Heat the pita bread. (Recipe link for my homemade pita in the post above).
Cut the tomatoes, cucumbers, and onion into thin slices.
On the pita bread, add the tzatziki sauce (Recipe link for this sauce in the post above).
Add the sliced vegetables on top.
Slice the gyros and place them on top of the vegetables.
Roll up the pita bread to make a sandwich and enjoy with some roasted potatoes. (Recipe link for roasted potatoes in the post).

Notes
You can use one type of meat in this recipe.
Do not skip squeezing water out of the minced onion step.
Always make sure to preheat the oven at least 20 minutes before using it.
You can fry the Gyros before serving.
Do not leave the Gyros on countertop for more than 2 hours or it won’t be safe to consume.
