Ingredients
- 1 pound pork loin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 large romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 medium cucumber, sliced
- 0.5 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup dairy-free, soy-free Tzatziki sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, ground cumin, coriander powder, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the pork loin with olive oil, then coat it evenly with the spice mixture.
Place the seasoned pork loin in a baking dish and pour the fresh lemon juice over the top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and roast the pork in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
To assemble the gyros, take a large romaine lettuce leaf and place a few slices of pork, cucumber slices, red onion slices, and grape tomato halves inside.
Drizzle with the dairy-free, soy-free Tzatziki sauce and sprinkle with fresh dill.
Repeat the assembly process with the remaining ingredients.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Pork Gyros!
