Gyros make the perfect grab and go lunch that can incorporate a lot of the Farmers Market finds in a little package. This cold variety substitutes beef with cooked, thinly sliced beets and is complimented with a tangy tomato and cucumber Tzatziki sauce.

- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked, thinly sliced beets
- 6 wheat flatbreads
