Blackstone Smashed Gyro Tacos is a great recipe for the griddle, all the yumminess of a gyro made into a taco topped with homemade sauce
Equipment
- Blackstone Griddle
- Flat Top Grill/ Griddle
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground lamb, pork, or chicken
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- kosher salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes
- 5 to 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1 5.3 ounce container plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons mayo
- 1/2 cucumber grated
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 8 to 10 soft taco size flour tortilla
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Put the ground lamb, pork, or chicken in a bowl. Add the oregano, paprika, kosher salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, and garlic. Mix together with your hands. Roll the ground meat into 8 to 10 balls.
- In another bowl add the Greek yogurt, mayo, grated cucumber, lemon juice, kosher salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir until combined.
