Directions

1. 1. Pulse the pork rinds in a food processor until they are fully crushed. Add the oregano, onion powder, salt, pepper, garlic, and then pulse again so that all the spices are mixed into the crumbs. 2. Add the ground beef and lamb to the food processor and process into a paste. If your processor is not large enough then you may need to take some of the meat out and do it in batches. If you have to batch it, then knead everything together in a large bowl when you are done. 3. Wrap the meat up tightly and allow to chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour. 4. Meanwhile, mix all of the ingredients for the Tzatziki sauce together and also store in the fridge. Be sure to squeeze all of the water out of the cucumber after you grate it. 5. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Unwrap the gyro loaf and place it on a pan to bake. Flatten it out a bit so that it's not more than 3 inches thick. I like using a casserole dish just in case some of the juices come out. 6. Bake for 40 -60 minutes, until it's browned and internal temperature has reached 165°F. 7. Allow to rest for ten minutes and set your oven to broil. Then thinly slice all of the meat on a bias. Broil for 5-10 minutes or until the edges start to crisp up. 8. Weigh all of the gyro meat and then divide by 8 in order to know how many ounces of cooked meat to serve on each flatbread. There are 8 servings, and thus 8 gyros total.
