Equipment

Sheet Pan (for baking fries)

Ingredients

2 pita, Indian naan or flatbread of choice
9 oz halloumi, cut into 6 slices
2 tbsp pesto of choice, homemade or store-bought
1 roma tomato, halved and cut into half moons
1 thin round of onion, cut into half moons (yellow or white onion)
1 medium golden potato, cut into fries
Salt and pepper to taste
3 tbsp olive oil (plus 1/2 tsp for cooking halloumi)
1 tsp oregano (Greek oregano if available)

Instructions

Prepare the Fries: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp of olive oil with 1 tsp of oregano.
Toss the cut potato fries with 2/3 of the oil mixture, and season with salt and pepper.
Spread the fries out on a sheet pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 22-28 minutes, mixing halfway through, until crispy and golden.
Prepare the Halloumi: While the fries are baking, heat 1/2 tsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat (start this about 5 minutes before the fries are done).
Add the halloumi slices and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove from heat.
Toast the Flatbread: Toast the flatbread in a toaster oven or pop it in the oven for a few minutes until warmed and slightly crispy on the edges.
Assemble the Gyros: Spread 1 tbsp of pesto on each piece of flatbread or pita.
Top each with 3 slices of halloumi, tomatoes, and onions.
Drizzle with the remaining oil and oregano mixture.
Add a generous portion of fries on top (you may have extra to snack on).
Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy!
