Notes
The chickpeas have a slight kick from the cayenne chili pepper - feel free to omit this or increase it depending on your preferences for spice!
Gyros can be messy - take care not to overfill your flatbread. If you’re spilling everything, wrap the flatbread in some foil (burrito style!) to keep it all together, or simple give in and use a knife and fork!
