Weeknight dinners can be tough. It’s easy to fall into a rut or default to convenience foods. Today I’m sharing a quick & easy weeknight meal that’s always a huge winner in my house – with kids and adults alike.
These ground chicken gyros aren’t exactly authentic Greek cuisine, but they’re fresh-tasting, full of flavor, and fast. With the help of a couple ingredient shortcuts (no, you don’t have to make tzatziki on a weeknight), dinner will be on the table in the time it takes you to brown a pound of ground meat. And since the toppings are added at the table, your picky eaters can customize their plates to their liking.
It’s a winner all around!
