These Homemade Hamburger Peppers and Onion Gyros are a flavorful fusion of seasoned ground beef, sautéed bell peppers, and onions, all wrapped in warm pita bread. Topped with crumbled blue cheese and sour cream, they offer a satisfying and unique twist on traditional gyros. ​

Ingredients

**For the Meat Mixture:**

– 3 teaspoons olive oil

– 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef

– 1 cup red bell pepper, chopped

– 1 cup green bell pepper, chopped

– 1 cup yellow onion, chopped

– 1 can (10 oz) Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained

– Salt and pepper to taste

**For Assembly:**

– 4 pita breads, warmed

– 1/2 cup sour cream

– 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese

Instructions

1. **Cook the Meat and Vegetables:**

– Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

– Add ground beef, chopped red and green bell peppers, and chopped onions to the skillet.

– Cook until the beef is browned and vegetables are softened, about 7-10 minutes.

– Drain excess fat if necessary and season with salt and pepper to taste.

– Stir in the drained Rotel tomatoes with green chilies and mix well. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to combine flavors.

 

2. **Assemble the Gyros:**

– Lay out four sheets of aluminum foil on a flat surface.

– Place a warmed pita bread on each sheet.

– Spoon a quarter of the meat and vegetable mixture onto the center of each pita.

– Fold the sides of the pita over the filling and wrap it tightly using the aluminum foil.

 

3. **Serve:**

– Garnish each gyro with a tablespoon of sour cream and a sprinkle of crumbled blue cheese.

– Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

For a spicier kick, consider using the hot variety of Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies.​

If preferred, substitute ground beef with ground lamb for a more traditional gyro flavor.

These gyros can be customized with additional toppings such as lettuce, tomatoes, or cucumbers.​

 

Leftover meat mixture can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
