Make this fusion dinner by wrapping spicy smoked Andouille sausage in warm pita bread with fresh vegetables and a creamy, tangy feta sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound smoked Andouille sausage, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 4 large pita breads
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup sliced red onion
  • 1/2 cup sliced tomato
  • For the Spicy Creamy Feta Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, feta cheese, lemon juice, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and dill. Mix well until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill while you prepare the sausage.
  2. Cook the Andouille: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced Andouille sausage. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the edges are browned and slightly crispy.
  3. Season the sausage: Sprinkle the smoked paprika and oregano over the sausage while it cooks. Toss to coat and cook for one minute more. Remove the sausage from the heat.
  4. Warm the pita bread: Warm the pita breads according to package directions, usually by wrapping them in foil and heating in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes, or briefly heating them directly on a dry skillet.
  5. Assemble the gyros: Lay a warm pita flat. Spoon a generous amount of the spicy creamy feta sauce down the center. Layer with the cooked Andouille sausage slices. Top with lettuce, red onion, and tomato slices.
  6. Fold and serve: Fold the pita around the filling to create a wrap. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can grill the Andouille sausage slices instead of pan-frying for a deeper smoky flavor.
  • If you prefer a milder sauce, reduce the amount of red pepper flakes or omit them entirely.
  • Use high-quality smoked Andouille sausage for the best flavor in this alternative gyro filling.
