NOTES
1. Can I use chicken instead of schnitzel?
Yes, chicken breast or thighs are great too. Just check the cooking time — it may be a bit shorter.
2. What if I don’t have gyros spices?
No problem! You can find an easy gyros spice mix recipe here.
3. Can I freeze the wraps?
It’s better to freeze only the meat. Make the wraps fresh when you eat them, so they stay soft and tasty.
4. Extra time? Marinate the meat longer for up to three hours or more to give it even more flavor.
5. Storage
- Fridge: Keep leftovers in a sealed container. They stay good for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: Let the meat cool first. Then freeze it in a container. It will last up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge and heat before serving.
