Spicy Gyro (Extra Chili)
Greek gyro is a well-known dish all over the world, but the spicy version is especially sought after by lovers of spicy flavors. This spicy gyro is not only spicy, but also harmoniously combines Mediterranean spices with a strong chili character. As the meat sizzles in the pan and the smell of chili fills the kitchen, it is already clear: this will not be an ordinary gyro. Crispy potatoes and fresh vegetables create a balance on the plate, and the spicy tzatziki puts a crown on the dish. Tip: If you want a really extreme experience, drizzle a little fresh lime juice on the meat - this will highlight the aroma of the chili. Ideal weekend "challenge" dinner, or if you want to serve something impressive to friends!

Preparation Steps
1
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips, then marinate with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, chili flakes, and ground chili. Let it stand for at least 20 minutes. Tip: For those who like it extra spicy, double the chili!
2
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the meat for 6-8 minutes, until juicy with crispy edges. Be careful not to overcook it.
3
Cut the potatoes into fries and bake or deep-fry until golden brown. Tip: Add a little smoked paprika or chili flakes to the potatoes for even more flavor.
4
Prepare the salad: tear the lettuce leaves into smaller pieces, slice the tomatoes and cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion.
5
Mix the tzatziki from Greek yogurt, crushed garlic, a little hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Serve chilled for a creamier and fresher taste.
6
Serve the fried chicken strips with the potatoes and salad, with the spicy tzatziki on the side. Tip: You can garnish with a few chili flakes, but only if you can handle the heat!
