Pork Gyros
Tzatziki Sauce
Directions
1.
Begin by making the tzatziki sauce so the flavors have time to marinate.
2.
Place the grated cucumber on a paper towel and gently squeeze out as much water as possible.
3.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cucumber, yogurt, vinegar, olive oil, garlic, mint, and salt. Whisk until well blended, then refrigerate.
4.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place a baking tray filled halfway with water on the bottom shelf to create steam, and place the pita bread directly on the wire shelf above it.
5.
Warm the pita bread for about 5 minutes until soft, then remove from the oven and keep covered with a towel.
6.
Trim any fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloin using a small, sharp knife, then slice it into thin strips about ¼ inch wide.
7.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat for a couple of minutes, then add the pork strips and sauté for about 1 minute on each side until lightly browned. Remove and pat off any excess oil.
8.
To serve, fill each pita with pork strips, tomato, and lettuce. Spoon tzatziki sauce over the top and serve immediately.
