AMERICAN GYRO BURGERS WITH TAHINI SAUCE
This is an American version of a gyro sandwich. Using ground beef or ground chicken. I love Greek food but I love this American twist with a great yogurt sauce in a pita bread! I made this and it is very Greek tasting and the flavors are not overpowering and is delish! *** Can add peeled and sliced or chopped cucumbers or other...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat a grill pan, large nonstick skillet, or outdoor grill to medium high heat. Combine beef and seasoning in a large mixing bowl; shape into 4 patties.
- 2. Skillet or grill pan: Cook for approximately 4 - 5 minutes on each side until no longer pink inside. Do in 2 batches. Hold the cooked patties on a plate under foil.
- 3. On Grill: Grill patties, covered with grill lid, over mediumhigh heat (350° to 400°) for 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until beef is no longer pink.
- 4. Cut off a 2-inch-wide sliver of bread from each pita round to form a pocket. Line each pita with 1 lettuce leaf, 2 tomato slices and 1 red onion slice. Add burger patties. Drizzle each patty with 2 Tbsp. Tahini Sauce, if desired, and sprinkle 1 Tbsp. Feta cheese evenly over each.
- 5. Tahini Sauce: 1/2 cup low-fat plain yogurt 2 tablespoon tahini, (sesame seed paste) 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley Combine yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, parsley and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. ** I didn't have tahini so I used a teaspoon of Hummus. It worked great. The flavors are great!
