Majeed Azzomor
[email protected]Overall, I thought these burgers were a good idea but they need some tweaking. I would try them again with a different type of avocado and a less tangy tzatziki sauce.
Allie Medders
[email protected]I would have liked the recipe to include more instructions on how to make the tzatziki sauce. I ended up using a store-bought sauce and it wasn't very good.

[email protected]I thought these burgers were just okay. The avocado was a bit bland and the tzatziki sauce was too tangy for my taste.

[email protected]I'm not sure what went wrong, but my burgers didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The avocado was too mushy and the gyro meat was a bit dry.

[email protected]I'm not usually a fan of avocado, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked in these burgers. The avocado added a creamy texture and a subtle flavor that really enhanced the gyro meat.

[email protected]These avocado gyro burgers were a hit at my last BBQ! The avocado added a creamy richness that perfectly complemented the savory gyro meat. I also loved the addition of the tzatziki sauce, which gave the burgers a nice tangy flavor.
