Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork tenderloin
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup English cucumber, grated and drained
- 1 tbsp Fresh dill, chopped
- 4 Gluten-free pita bread
- 2 Tomatoes, sliced
- 1 Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Lettuce, shredded
Instructions
1. Begin by marinating the pork tenderloin. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and ground black pepper.
2. Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips and add them to the marinade, ensuring the meat is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
3. While the pork is marinating, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, grated and drained cucumber, and fresh dill. Stir until well combined and refrigerate until ready to use.
4. Once the pork has marinated, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork strips and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pork is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
5. Warm the gluten-free pita bread by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for about 20 seconds or heating in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute per side.
6. To assemble the gyros, spread a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce onto each pita bread.
7. Top with cooked pork strips, sliced tomatoes, red onion, and shredded lettuce.
8. Fold the pita bread around the filling and serve immediately.
