Gyros

I have a lot of leftover grilled leg of lamb from Easter that I froze for later use.It's time for Gyros!

I defrosted some lamb and sliced it thinly then warmed it in the microwave. Serve the lamb on pita bread
(not pita pockets, this is the softer and chewier kind) with tzatziki sauce and chopped onion and tomato.

Tzatziki Sauce:
1/2 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, and finely chopped
8 ounces plain yogurt
Pinch kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
3 to 4 mint leaves, finely minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh dill

Squeeze out the chopped cucumber to remove the liquid; discard liquid. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cucumber with the rest of the ingredients.
