Fresh, hearty, and packed with flavor — these wraps combine shredded rotisserie chicken, savory gyro meat, creamy tzatziki, and tangy marinated onions, all tucked inside crisp lettuce leaves. With high protein, bold Mediterranean flavors, and virtually no carbs, they’re a quick and satisfying meal you can throw together in just 10 minutes. Perfect for a light lunch, weeknight dinner, or even meal prep!

Why You’ll Love These Wraps

If you love gyros but want to skip the pita bread, these lettuce wraps are the perfect solution. They deliver all the flavor of a classic Greek street food favorite — savory meats, tangy tzatziki, briny olives, and crunchy veggies — in a low-carb, high-protein package.

They’re also incredibly versatile. Use rotisserie chicken for convenience, leftover gyro meat for authentic flavor, or even switch in grilled lamb or beef. Wrap it all up in fresh, crisp lettuce leaves, and you’ve got a meal that’s refreshing, filling, and keto-friendly.

Equipment

  • Knife & cutting board
  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups & spoons

Ingredients

Gyro Chicken Lettuce Wraps

  • Rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • Gyro meat, sliced
  • Tzatziki sauce
  • Marinated onions
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • Large lettuce leaves (for wrapping)

Instructions

  • Step 1: Prepare the lettuce
    Wash and pat dry large lettuce leaves. Choose sturdy leaves like romaine, butter lettuce, or iceberg to hold the fillings without tearing.
  • Step 2: Layer the protein
    Place a generous layer of shredded rotisserie chicken and sliced gyro meat onto the lettuce leaves. This creates the hearty base of your wrap.
  • Step 3: Add creamy tzatziki
    Spoon tzatziki sauce over the meat for a cool, tangy contrast that ties the flavors together.
  • Step 4: Top with extras
    Add chopped green olives and marinated onions for brininess and a pop of flavor.
  • Step 5: Season
    Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper to taste
  • Step 6: Wrap & enjoy
    Fold or roll the lettuce leaves around the filling. Serve immediately while fresh and crisp.

Special Notes

  • 🥬 Wrap Alternative – Use low-carb tortillas if you prefer something sturdier than lettuce.
  • 🧄 Extra Flavor – Add cucumbers, crumbled feta, or a drizzle of olive oil for a true Mediterranean boost.
  • 🥗 Meal Prep Tip – Store all ingredients separately and assemble just before eating to keep the lettuce crisp.
  • 🍋 Zesty Twist – Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice right before serving for brightness.
  • 🌿 Herb Boost – Sprinkle fresh dill, parsley, or oregano for extra freshness.

Serving Ideas

  • Light Lunch: Pair with a simple cucumber and tomato salad.
  • Dinner Plate: Serve alongside roasted vegetables or cauliflower rice.
  • Party Appetizer: Make mini versions with smaller lettuce leaves for easy grab-and-go bites.

Make-Ahead & Storage Tips

  • Make Ahead: Cook and slice gyro meat in advance and prep toppings ahead of time.
  • Refrigerate: Store protein and toppings separately in airtight containers for up to 3–4 days.
  • Assemble: Build wraps just before serving to prevent soggy lettuce.
  • Reheat: Gently warm gyro meat in a skillet before assembling, if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

What lettuce works best for wraps?

Romaine, butter lettuce, or iceberg are sturdy enough to hold fillings without tearing.

Can I make these dairy-free?

Yes — swap tzatziki for a dairy-free version made with coconut yogurt or hummus.

What’s the best gyro meat to use?

Leftover sliced lamb, beef, or chicken gyro meat works great, but you can also buy pre-sliced gyro meat from many grocery stores or Mediterranean markets.

Can I meal prep these?

Yes! Prepare the protein and toppings in advance, but store separately. Assemble just before serving to prevent soggy lettuce.
