Keto Gyro Burger

The Keto Gyro Burger combines the savory flavors of traditional Greek gyros with the juicy goodness of a burger, all while keeping it low in carbs. Topped with a refreshing tzatziki sauce and served on a lettuce wrap, this dish is both satisfying and healthy.

Ingredients

• Ground beef - 400 grams
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Lettuce leaves - 4 large
• Tomato - 1 medium, sliced

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Form the mixture into two patties and let them rest for 10 minutes.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
4. While the burgers are cooking, prepare the tzatziki sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, diced cucumber, lemon juice, and chopped dill in a small bowl. Season with salt to taste.
5. Once the burgers are done, assemble by placing each patty on a large lettuce leaf. Top with sliced tomatoes, red onion, crumbled feta, and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce.
