Make a flavorful fusion meal by wrapping spicy smoked Andouille sausage in warm pita bread with fresh vegetables and cool, homemade tzatziki sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound smoked Andouille sausage, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
  • 4 large pita breads
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 English cucumber, grated and squeezed dry
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for cooking
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tzatziki: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, squeezed cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and dill. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  2. Cook the Sausage: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced Andouille sausage. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the sausage is heated through and slightly browned on the edges. Remove from heat.
  3. Warm the Pita: Warm the pita breads according to package directions. This can be done in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or briefly in the oven.
  4. Assemble the Gyros: Lay a warm pita flat. Spread a generous layer of the prepared tzatziki sauce down the center.
  5. Layer the fillings: Place a portion of the cooked Andouille sausage over the sauce. Top with sliced tomato, red onion, and shredded lettuce.
  6. Fold and Serve: Fold the pita bread around the fillings to create a wrap. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra smoky flavor, you can grill the sliced Andouille sausage instead of pan-searing.
  • If you prefer a tangier sauce, substitute half of the Greek yogurt with sour cream in the tzatziki recipe.
  • Use high-quality smoked Andouille sausage for the best flavor in these sausage gyro wraps.
