- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Preparation
For the Gyros ‘Meat’:
- Add the mince, water and stock to a saucepan, stir until thoroughly combined, then put on a low heat (mine was on 2 out of 6) on the hob for 15 minutes – make sure you stir regularly so it doesn’t stick
- After 15 minutes, transfer to a bowl and add all the seasonings (mix together separately before adding) and leave for 5 minutes to ‘infuse’
- Then, fry for about 5-10 minutes until the mince has crisped
For the Tzatziki:
- Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl – nice and simple!
For the Flatbread:
- Add all the ingredients in a bowl and mix/knead until a dough forms
- Then, split the dough into 4 balls
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough until about 1cm thick
- Heat up a little oil in a griddle pan, then fry the dough for about 3 minutes each side until golden
For the Assembly:
- Pack the flatbread full of ‘meat’ and tzatziki
- When I have visited Greece in the past I have seen that they also added fries and salad – which also tastes delicious as this is what I did with mine
- Then wrap it all up and enjoy!
