Beef & Spinach Gyros image

A gyro typically is made of meat, often lamb, roasted on a spit and served sandwich-style in folded pita bread. It's topped with tomato, onion and a Greek-style yogurt. Tradition takes a slight twist with the use of ground beef, spinach and ripe olives. Opa! -Mary Johnson, Coloma, Wisconsin

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but I really enjoyed these gyros. The spinach flavor is subtle and it doesn't overpower the other ingredients.
