I use 1lb each of ground lamb and lean ground beef and double your spice recipe. I use half of the mixture for gyros and the remainder for the base of the best chili ever. I never thought to add fresh mint to my Tzatziki. I'll never make it again without. Thanks for sharing. Fantastic recipe!

I've been looking for a good gyros spice mix a long time. What kind of chili powder do you use? Pure ground chili (like cayenne?) or the chili powder-mix with other spices mixed with it (usually oregano, cumin and other spices)? Thanks! I’ve been looking for a good gyros spice mix a long time.

Next time I will try to put curry a little bit less, I felt it more than other spices. Thank you, Kay! Very tasty.
