Instant Pot Beef Gyros
Alexa ShieldsBeef Gyros are a traditionally Greek dish featuring a rotisserie-style meat served in a warm pita with tzatziki sauce. Mi Rancho’s spin on this classic replaces the pita with our thick and fluffy Simply Authentic Fajita Flour Tortilla. Using an Instant Pot to make this flavorful and tender meat quickly makes it possible to serve this Mediterranean favorite to your family on a busy weeknight.

Instructions
Beef:
Toss all ingredients together inside of the Instant Pot. Cover and make sure the valve is sealed. Pres Manuel/Pressure Cook and set the timer for 25 minutes at high pressure. Let the pot slow release for 15 minutes, then move the valve to venting. Open the pot and stir.
Tzatziki Sauce:
Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve. If it’s too thick, add more lemon juice until it’s the desired consistency.
Gyros:
Over an open flame or on a hot dry pan, warm Mama’s Fajita Flour Tortillas until slightly golden and they begin to puff. Keep warm until ready to serve.
Fill each tortilla with a large serving of beef, making sure to drain excess liquid. Top with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and tzatziki sauce. Roll until overlapped and wrap halfway in aluminum foil or parchment paper.
