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

Directions

Step 1

Cut the boneless pork shoulder into thin strips. Place it in a mixing bowl.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Fold or roll the flatbread and serve immediately. Enjoy your Pork Flatbreads with Avocado Tzatziki!
