I want one now. Love gyros!
Oh me too!!! They are super yummy.
Yum! This looks lovely, and the filling fresh. 🙂

Yummy! My kind of food. I manage to get similar in Crete once I convince the waiter I really do want a pita without meat, I never forego the chips tho! X
Hi Yvonne,
How are you? I love gyros without me, and I find it too funny if I ever ask for that in Greece. lol
I am sure you will enjoy it. Let me know your thoughts when you do. Cheers-
I can’t wait to try this! Looks healthy. Did you have to try this over and over to come up with the right mix of ingredients?
Hi!! Thank you for stopping by. No I didn’t. First time making it. 🙂 I usually make it with meat but wanted to try my own vege version. 🙂
