Introduction
This is a great "make your own" gyro pita's. Using cubed lamb rather than lamb loaf, you keep quite a few unneeded carbs out of the recipe, and this is a very healty alternative to the general gyro you would get in a restaurant. My family LOVES this one! This is a great "make your own" gyro pita's.
