I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my gyros turned out dry and tough. I think I might have overcooked them.

These gyros were a bit too spicy for me. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

I made these gyros in a pita pocket with some lettuce, tomato, and onion. They were so good! I'll definitely be making them again.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made these gyros with ground tofu instead of lamb. They were delicious! The cucumber-yogurt sauce was the perfect complement.

These gyros were easy to make and turned out great! I used ground beef instead of lamb, and they were still delicious. I'll definitely be making these again.

The gyros were good, but the cucumber-yogurt sauce was a bit too tangy for me. I think I'll try making it with a different yogurt next time.

These gyros were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try grilling them next time instead of pan-frying them.
