DAMAGED Cooking: FAJYROS!

Now I love love LOVE lamb, but get it rarely, which, if you ask me, is a GD crying shame. It's so tender, so juicy and, best of all, has a slight greasy-gamy flavor that is quite unique and uncopyable. But, after a couple of days of cooking straight lamb-chops for dinner, the old-fashioned way, I started craving something a little different...
Enter: FAJYROS!
Lamb-based gyros have always pleased my palate far more than pork-based ones, but try finding that here in Ft. Whitebread. But, with the no meat-grinder in sight, it was going to be damn-near impossible to ground the lamb-cuts the traditional way to make a traditional gyro, so, I figured WHAT WOULD A CRAFTY MEXICAN DO? Being Mexican, the answer came easily enough: go on welfare! But, after that was accomplished, I decided to cut the lamb up into chunks and pan-fry it, fajita-style! Oompah and ole'!


Throw in three different kinds of bell peppers (green, red and, if you're adventurous, orange), a couple of cloves of garlic, white and yellow onions and various Mexican secret spices and just lean back and enjoy the incredible smell that wafts from the sizzling cast-iron frying pan.

Serve on fresh pita bread with tomatoes, Feta cheese, Monterey Jack cheese and some liberally applied Tzatziki sauce. As a side, some simple rice with a bit of Sriracha is geographically anachronistic, but very complimentary. It may be healthy too, I don't know. I didn't really check. Sorry.

Those sound amazing! I know how to make Gyros the traditional Greek way, if you're interested and ever come across more lamb.
