Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork tenderloin
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 tbsp Dried oregano
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup English cucumber, grated and drained
• 1 tbsp Fresh dill, chopped
• 4 Gluten-free pita bread
• 2 Tomatoes, sliced
• 1 Red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Lettuce, shredded

Directions

Step 1

1. Begin by marinating the pork tenderloin. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and ground black pepper.

Step 2

2. Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips and add them to the marinade, ensuring the meat is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Step 3

3. While the pork is marinating, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, grated and drained cucumber, and fresh dill. Stir until well combined and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 4

4. Once the pork has marinated, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork strips and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pork is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 5

5. Warm the gluten-free pita bread by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for about 20 seconds or heating in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute per side.

Step 6

6. To assemble the gyros, spread a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce onto each pita bread.

Step 7

7. Top with cooked pork strips, sliced tomatoes, red onion, and shredded lettuce.

Step 8

8. Fold the pita bread around the filling and serve immediately.
