Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork tenderloin
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Red wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 4 pieces Pita or flatbread

Instructions
Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips about 1/4 inch thick for quick cooking.
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Add the pork strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for greater flavor infusion.
Heat a grill pan or large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated pork strips to the pan.
Grill or sauté the pork for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.
Warm the pita or flatbread either in a dry pan or in the oven wrapped in foil to keep them soft.
To assemble the gyros, spread a generous spoonful of dairy-free tzatziki or hummus onto each piece of warmed flatbread.
Layer on a portion of the cooked pork, followed by a handful of sliced red onions, diced tomatoes, and cucumber.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before wrapping the flatbread into a gyro shape.
Serve immediately while the meat is hot and toppings are fresh for the best experience.
