- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, dried oregano, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to form the marinade.
Add the lean beef strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor.
Preheat a grill or non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the marinated beef strips from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Grill the beef strips for 2-3 minutes on each side or until cooked through and browned. Remove the beef from the heat and let rest for a few minutes.
Warm the whole wheat pita bread in the oven or on the stovetop for about 1-2 minutes per side.
To assemble the yiros, place a warm pita bread on a serving plate. Add a portion of the beef strips, followed by diced tomato, cucumber, sliced red onion, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
Drizzle each yiros with the low-fat tzatziki sauce.
Wrap the pita around the filling, securing with parchment paper or foil if necessary, and serve immediately.
