Ingredients

  • 1 lb gyro meat
  • 1 lb frozen french fries
  • 4 cups romaine lettuce
  • 1 tomato
  • ½ red onion
  • ½ cup kalamata olives
  • ¼ cup pepperoncini
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread the 1 lb frozen fries on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crispy, about 25 minutes, shaking halfway.

  2. 2

    While fries bake, slice the 1 tomato and 0.5 red onion into thin rings. Toss with 4 cups romaine, 0.5 cup olives, and 0.25 cup pepperoncini in a large bowl.

  3. 3

    Drizzle the salad with 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat and set aside.

  4. 4

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 1 lb gyro meat and cook, breaking it up, until browned and heated through, about 8 minutes.

  5. 5

    Divide the fries and salad between plates. Top with the cooked gyro meat and serve immediately.

  6. 6

    Optional: add a squeeze of lemon or a dollop of tzatziki if you have them.
