I whipped up this tzatziki with sour cream the other night after a fierce craving for a gyro struck me, and I was finding many recipes that weren't quite what I was looking for. I wanted a creamier version of tzatziki. I put it on a tortilla with shredded chicken, Cheddar, green leaf lettuce, and lots of tomatoes and feta. It was so good I was eating it by the spoonful! You can play around with adding a little more mayo or sour cream, as my measurements may not have been exact.

Ingredients

  • 1 large cucumber, peeled and cut into chunks

  • 1 ½ cups plain Greek yogurt

  • ½ cup sour cream

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Chop cucumber in a food processor until nearly liquefied; strain through cheesecloth to remove excess moisture, being careful not to over-drain and lose too much of the fresh flavor.

  2. Mix together cucumber, yogurt, sour cream, mayonnaise, and garlic in a serving bowl; season with salt and pepper.
