How to Make Gyro Burgers With Tzatziki Sauce

1. **Make the Tzatziki Sauce:** In a small bowl, combine 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup shredded cucumber (squeeze out excess water), 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
2. **Prepare the Burger Patties:** In a large bowl, combine 1 pound ground beef (or ground lamb), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Gently mix until just combined.
3. **Form the Patties:** Shape the beef mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
4. **Grill the Burgers:** Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the patties for 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness, or to your desired level of doneness.
5. **Warm the Pitas:** Grill the pita breads for 1-2 minutes per side, or until warmed through and slightly toasted.
6. **Assemble the Burgers:** Open each pita bread. Add a burger patty, a generous dollop of Tzatziki sauce, and your favorite toppings (e.g., sliced tomatoes, onions, lettuce).
7. **Serve Immediately:** Enjoy your delicious and flavorful Gyro Burgers!
