Greek Tacos

After our last trip, to the best gyros in the city of Milwaukee Oakland Gyros, I had an idea for a new recipe...a greek taco. Maddy was very skeptical, but she actually ended up eating the most. We tried making lamb burgers on one other occasion and it just was not good. So, this time I chose to double the meat and do 1 lb. ground turkey and 1 lb. ground lamb. This combination was a winner. You could taste the lamb, but it did not overpower anything. Complete with my version of cucumber sauce, this recipe is good! Maddy asked if we could have it every week. She also came up the with the idea of different tacos every week...a normal taco, a greek taco, and indian taco. My little culinary protege:)  The recipe listed is for 2 nights worth of meat, so you can freeze half of the meat right away or just have it 2 days in the week. I appologize up front for my lack of true measurements. It really was a shake of this and a shake of that.
