Clean Recipe for Gyros?
I am looking for a recipe for Clean Gyros. It was featured in Clean Eating magazine this month but I misplaced my magazine. I don't want to buy it again. Does anyone have a recipe for Clean Gyros? The one from the magazine or another one? Was hoping to make for dinner tonight....
