Ground Beef Gyros

Mike and I both liked this one. He of course ate his ground beef with mashed potatoes and pinto beans. I ate mine on a low carb tortilla wrap with all of the fresh toppings that you would expect on a gyro. I LOVED it. I surprised myself actually. I was hesitant because of the sauce but it was actually very good.
