Gyros Smashed Tacos

Directions

  1. 1In a bowl, combine the beef (or beef-lamb mix) with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  2. 2Mix thoroughly until the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the meat.
  3. 3Form small balls of the seasoned meat and place one on top of each tortilla.
  4. 4Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat, then place the tortillas (with the meat side down) onto the hot surface.
  5. 5Cook for about 4–5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes to crisp up the tortilla.
  6. 6Transfer the tacos to a tray and broil under the grill for 2–3 minutes for an extra golden, crispy finish.
  7. 7Spread a generous spoonful of tzatziki over each taco.
  8. 8Top with diced tomatoes, crispy fries, sliced red onion, and fresh parsley.
  9. 9Give each taco a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for that perfect tangy kick.
