Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork loin
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 4 pieces Pita bread
- 1 cup Tzatziki sauce
- 2 Tomatoes, sliced
- 0.5 Red onions, thinly sliced
- 1 Cucumber, diced
- 0.5 cup Crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley or dill, chopped
Instructions
Slice the pork loin into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the pork strips and toss to coat evenly. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork strips to the pan and cook for 6–8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the pork is browned and cooked through.
Warm the pita bread in the oven or on a dry skillet for 1–2 minutes until soft and pliable.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce over each pita bread.
Top the tzatziki with the cooked pork, followed by sliced tomatoes, red onions, diced cucumber, crumbled feta cheese, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley or dill.
Fold the pita bread around the fillings to form a sandwich, securing with parchment or foil if needed.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your homemade gyro-style pork sandwiches!
