Meat Preparation

Gyro-style brisket: Inspired by Greek gyro meat, brisket is marinated in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano before being slow-cooked until tender.
Slow-cooking methods: Brisket can be cooked in a crock pot, braised in the oven, or smoked to achieve tender, fall-apart texture.
Slicing: Once cooked, the brisket is sliced thinly against the grain to maximize tenderness and flavor.

Taco Variations

Classic Gyro Brisket Tacos: Sliced brisket, topped with tomato, onion, cucumber, feta cheese, and a dollop of tzatziki sauce, all wrapped in a warm pita or taco shell.
Korean BBQ-Inspired: Spicy Gochujang sauce, kimchi slaw, cilantro, and crispy tortilla strips add a bold, spicy twist to the classic taco.
Southwestern Fusion: Brisket is paired with diced avocado, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and a sprinkle of queso fresco, blending Greek and Mexican flavors.
Veggie-Packed: Add roasted vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, and eggplant to the tacos, topped with a tangy tahini sauce and a sprinkle of sumac.
