Gyro Pita Burgers

This recipe was pretty good. I didn't think a gyro was made from ground beef, but that's what this recipe calls for. I used pita wraps instead of pitas and just cooked the hamburger on the stove rather than grilling it. It does have a unique flavor. I liked it. Mike thought it was too sweet tasting from the yogurt. It was lowfat yogurt, but I think it was kind of tangy tasting.

Recipe: onesassy

16 ounces plain yogurt, divided
1 ounce, dry weight ranch dressing mix
1 stalk cucumber (peeled, seeded, chopped)
1 1/2 lb. ground beef
1/4 cup onion (diced)
6 pieces round pita bread
2 cups lettuce leaves, torn
1 cup diced tomato

In a medium bowl, combine 1 container of plain yogurt with the envelope of ranch dressing mix. Remove half of the mixture to another bowl. Into one of the bowls, add the remaining container of plain yogurt and diced cucumber; mix well. Cover and refrigerate. Preheat grill and lightly oil grate.

Mix the ground beef and 1/4 cup onion into the remaining half of the yogurt mixture. Shape into 6 hamburger patties.

Grill patties on medium heat for 7 mins. on each side, turning once.

Cut off 1/4 end of the pita pockets and fill with torn lettuce, grilled burger, creamy cucumber sauce and diced tomatoes.
