I like to serve these when the gang's over for football games-they taste like gyros and the guys love them! You can prepare the meat and sauce ahead of time for added convenience. -Lisa Hockersmith, Bakersfield, California

These pitas are the perfect size and shape for making gyros. I love filling them with grilled lamb, tzatziki sauce, and fresh vegetables.

The pitas were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try using less olive oil next time.

The pitas were a bit too thick for my taste. I think I'll try rolling them out thinner next time.
