Really good recipe! Like other reviewers, I used minced garlic and added a bit of lemon juice. I also substituted chicken for the beef. I was able to use fat-free yogurt and got the same creamy effect. Tasted just like my favorite diner's gyros! My husband asked that this be added to our dinner rotation. Yum!

Awesome recipe! DH says it would be the best recipe EVER if it was made with lamb instead of ground beef. Definitely a keeper!!

Scrumdiddlyumpshus! I used minced garlic instead of powder, and onion salt instead of powder and salt. It's great! I wasn't overly thrilled with the sauce as I found it a bit too sweet, but maybe without so much sugar? I'll definitely make this recipe again and THANK YOU FOR SHARING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was an easy and tasty recipe. I added some mint and lemon juice to the tzatzki sauce (following one of the other tzatzki recipes here), but other than that made no changes. The meal was fantastic. They really taste like gyros, and I should know, I used to work in a Greek fast food place where we served them! I served this with spinach as a veg and made a complete dinner. Very tasty!
