Gyros/HolyLand Deli Part 2

So, you paid attention and took a trip to Holyland Deli.  Or for that matter, you made your own shawarma and cucumber sauce for gyros at home.   The rest is as simple as assembling a taco.

 Shawarma, pita bread, sliced oions, tomatoes, lettuce and cucumber sauce (using the greek yogurt pictured up top).

Simply heat the shawarma in a frying pan,  warm the pitas in the microwave for approximately 30 seconds and start building.   
Cut pita in half, open up and load with with the fixings above.   Since the cucumber sauce is so good, I usually add some half way through and then again on top.   Time to eat!

Pick up like a taco, take a bite, wipe face with napkin, repeat.

While the cucumber sauce can be purchased, it is also incredibly simple to make and tastes better than store bought. 

Cucumber sauce

Ingredients
1 cucumber peeled, seeds removed and cut into chunks
1 cup greek yogurt  (sour cream can be substituted
1 tsp dill
1 clove garlic minced
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tsp olive oil
Pepper to taste
Sprinkle cucumber pieces with salt and let sit for approximately  1 hour to draw out some of the water.  Drain, pulse in food processor or blender, place in strainer and squeeze out the remaining water.  Mix with the remaining ingredients and refridgerate for at least 2 hours, overnght is best.

This sauce can also be used on sandwiches in place of mayo.
