How to Make Gyro Burger

  1. Prepare the burgers: Form 2 (1/4 lb) patties of your favorite ground beef.
  2. Grill the burgers: Grill the patties over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness.
  3. Make the Cucumber Sauce: Combine 1 cup sour cream, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/2 cup diced cucumber in a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add more cucumber for extra kick!
  4. Prepare the Pitas: Slice open 2 pita breads and cut off one end of each to create a pocket (optional).
  5. Assemble the Burgers: Layer sliced tomatoes and lettuce inside each pita pocket.
  6. Drizzle generously with the cucumber sauce.
  7. Top each pita with a grilled burger and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese (about 1/4 cup total).
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Gyro Burgers!
