Directions:

Mix lamb, beef and pork water with spices, lemon juice and water. Shape into flattened oval patties. Place patties in broiler, turning frequently, until done on both sides, about 8 to 10 minutes. (crispy on the outside, moist on the inside is good)

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 chopped tomatoes and onions. Spoon tzatziki sauce inside pocket.
