Tzatziki Sauce: Sprinkle 1/4 tsp of salt on diced cucumber and place in a strainer (to drain excess liquid) for about 1/2 hour. (discard excess liquid). Mix all ingredients in small bowl cover and refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour. Stir well before serving.
To Assemble: Split the top third of the Pita bread with knife and carefully separate to create a 'pocket'
Place two gyros patties inside each pita pocket. (side by side). Add sliced tomatoes, onion, and lettuce. Spoon tzatziki sauce inside pocket.
