Making Gyro Bowls

[kcixcy]

How can I make gyro bowls at home? I don't have access to the traditional gyro meat. I would have to make some kind of gyro meat at home.

I love the flavors of a classic gyro, but I’m thinking of creating a bowl version for an easy, balanced meal. I plan on using grilled chicken or lamb as the protein, but I’d love to hear your suggestions for marinades that really capture that authentic Greek taste.

What should I put in the bowl?

If you’re aiming for that authentic gyro flavor, I’d suggest marinating your chicken or lamb in a mix of olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, etc. It depends on the meat you use though. You can also use gyro meat that you can often find in Greek stores.

For the bowl, start with a base of rice or quinoa, then layer in classic toppings like fresh cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, kalamata olives, and a sprinkle of feta. A generous dollop of tzatziki (Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, and dill) ties everything together. Garnish with fresh parsley and, if you want a crunch, add toasted pita chips.
