  2. Prepare the garnishes.
  3. Serve Ground Beef Gyros in pita or naan bread with red onion slices, cucumber slices and tzatziki sauce.

Freezeasy Meal Prep Directions

  1. Brown 2 lbs. ground beef with 4 Tbsp minced onion and 2 tsp garlic powder. Drain and set aside to cool.

  • Half of the browned ground beef
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar

Freeze & Thaw Instructions

Put baggie in the freezer and freeze up to 6 months in fridge freezer or 12 months in a deep freezer. Thaw in the fridge overnight, or a warm bowl of water for about 20 minutes, before transferring to the skillet to reheat and then wrap up in pita or naan bread with garnishes.

Dairy-Free Modifications

Unfortunately, omitting the tzatziki sauce isn’t a great option for these gyros.
