I had a hard time finding pita bread, but I eventually found some at a specialty grocery store. The gyros were worth the effort, though. They were delicious!

These gyros were a bit dry for my taste, but the flavors were good. I think I'll try adding some extra tzatziki sauce next time.

These gyros were easy to make and turned out great! I used store-bought tzatziki sauce, but I'm sure homemade would be even better.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my gyros turned out really bland. I think I might have used too much chicken breast.

These shredded chicken gyros were a hit at my last party! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the flavors were spot-on. I especially loved the tangy tzatziki sauce.
