Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Boneless pork shoulder
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 Ripe avocado
- 0.5 cup Cucumber, grated
- 2 tbsp Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 4 Flatbreads or pitas
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
Cut the boneless pork shoulder into thin strips. Place it in a mixing bowl.
Add minced garlic, ground cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the pork. Toss to coat evenly. Let marinate while preparing the other ingredients.
To make the avocado tzatziki, combine the Greek yogurt, ripe avocado (mashed), grated cucumber (squeeze out any excess liquid), chopped fresh dill, and lemon juice in a bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside in the refrigerator.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork strips to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and slightly browned.
While the pork is cooking, warm the flatbreads or pitas in a dry skillet or directly over a low flame for 1-2 minutes, until soft and pliable.
Assemble the flatbreads: Place a lettuce leaf on each flatbread, add a generous portion of the cooked pork, then top with cherry tomatoes, red onion slices, and a dollop of avocado tzatziki.
Fold or roll the flatbread and serve immediately. Enjoy your Pork Flatbreads with Avocado Tzatziki!
