Meat Loaf Gyros

Sometimes I use leftover meatloaf from other recipes to make these yummy Gyros.  Great way to change up leftovers.

1 egg, lightly beaten
6 garlic cloves, minced
3 Tbsp dried oregano
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp pepper
1 lb ground lamb
1 lb ground beef

Tzatziki Sauce:
1 cup (8 oz) plain yogurt
1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, and chopped
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
8 whole gyro-style pitas (6 inches)
3 Tbsp olive oil, divided
16 slices tomato
8 slices sweet onion, halved

In a large bowl, combine the egg, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.  Crumble lamb and beef over mixture; mix well.

Pat into an ungreased 9x5 loaf pan.  Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 60-70 minutes, or until no pink remains and a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees.  Cool completely on a wire rack.  Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

For sauce, combine the yogurt, cucumber, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper.  Cover and  refrigerate until serving.

Brush pita breads with 1 Tbsp oil; heat on a lightly greased griddle for 1 minute on each side.  Keep warm.  Cut meat loaf into very thin slices.  In a large skillet, fry meat loaf in remaining oil in batches until crisp.  On each pita bread, layer tomato, onion and meat loaf slices; top with some sauce.  Carefully fold pitas in half.  Serve with remaining sauce.
