Lamb Gyros -- the Ultimate Grill Experience


* We linked this post at Monday Mania at the The Healthy Home Economist and Friday Foodfight at RunDMT *

I love gyros.  I'll take them in nearly any form, even the ones that get sliced off of a giant cylinder of lamb pate at a Greek fast food restaurant.  However, when I get the chance, I make them at home because the flavor of a fresh leg of lamb marinated for three days in a delicious mix of herbs and spices is simply unbeatable.  I believe that this gyros recipe is the best I've ever tasted, anywhere, and I hope you like it too:

Southwest Steak and Shrimp Fajitas



My wife and I are both from the southwest originally, so occasionally we need to take a little culinary trip back home for nostalgia purposes. Today I put together some steak and shrimp fajitas on homemade whole wheat tortillas for just that purpose.  I served it with some charred zucchini slices, pico de gallo, sour cream, and a Mexican beer for the full effect.  It was a good way to use up some leftover steak from last night too, without getting repetitive.
