2 lb ground beef (lean) or lamb or both
4 green onions, finely chopped
1 cup garlic, minced
1 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon parsley
1 teaspoon salt (I use less--usually 1/2)
1/4 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground
8 large pita

Mix all ingredients except pita, mixing well and kneading until mixture is stiff. On skewer, pack meat mixture about 5" long and not more than 2" in diameter. Put as many "fingers" as possible on a skewer, leaving a 1" space in between.

Cook over hot coals 10-15 minutes, turning frequently. Take pita and slide gyro into center. Drizzle with sauce. Fold over to eat.

Sauce(Tzatziki)
1 cup yogurt
1 tablespoon mayo (light of course)
juice of 1 lemon
2 scallions (including green tops), finely chopped cucumber (minced), as much as you like, I use about 1/2 cup
5 cloves garlic, minced

Mix well together. Spoon onto gyro and all tomatoes and sliced onions.
