Ingredients

• 1 pound Pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat, unsweetened)
• 1 cup Cucumber, grated and squeezed
• 2 tablespoons Dill, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 12 Lettuce leaves
• 1 Red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 Tomato, diced

Directions

Step 1

Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat, then slice it into thin strips about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Add the pork strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Step 4

Prepare the low-carb tzatziki sauce by combining Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, dill, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until needed.

Step 5

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork strips in batches, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes.

Step 6

Assemble the gyros by taking one lettuce leaf and layering it with a few pork strips, a spoonful of tzatziki sauce, red onion slices, and diced tomatoes.

Step 7

Serve immediately while warm, with extra tzatziki sauce on the side if desired.
