Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, grated cucumber, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended, then cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Increase the heat slightly and add ground beef, cooking for 5-7 minutes until browned. Stir occasionally to break it apart.
- Once the beef is cooked, stir in oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- While the beef finishes, heat pita bread in a skillet or oven until warm and pliable.
- Assemble gyros by spooning beef mixture into warmed pita, layering with red onion, tomato, lettuce, and a dollop of tzatziki.

Notes
For the best flavors, allow tzatziki to chill for at least 15 minutes before serving.
