Slow Cooker Pork Gyros with Cucumber Yogurt Sauce

{Save this Pork Gyro Recipe with Tzatziki sauce for later on Pinterest!}

I am such a fan of gyros. I love the soft pita, the well-seasoned meat and the tzatziki sauce all together in one big bite. And the good news is that gyro meat is so easy to make in the slow cooker.  (If you’d rather make them chicken or beef you can do that too–here are the recipes for slow cooker chicken gyros and beef gyros).

For this recipe I went with pork from Costco. I bought this super cheap and lean pork (it was like $1.59 a pound) and added it to the slow cooker with some seasonings and onion and lemon juice. 8 hours later it was shreddable and perfectly seasoned. Then I whipped up the tzatziki sauce which is just cucumber, yogurt and garlic and salt and pepper. I grabbed a bag of Papa Pitas (I also get these at Costco) and then sliced up some grape tomatoes and shredded some lettuce. It was such an easy dinner for seriously so delicious and pretty healthy too! I hope you’ll try it soon!
