Ingredients

• 1 pound Pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup Cucumber, grated or diced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
• 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Tomatoes, diced
• 4 units Lettuce leaves
• 4 units Pita bread

Directions

Step 1

Trim the pork tenderloin of any silver skin or excess fat, then slice it into thin strips about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 2

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 3

Add the pork strips to the marinade, ensuring they're well coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours.

Step 4

While the pork is marinating, prepare the yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated or diced cucumber, and fresh dill. Mix well and set aside in the refrigerator.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork strips and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 145°F). Remove from the heat and let rest for a couple of minutes.

Step 6

Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until soft and pliable.

Step 7

Assemble the sandwiches: Place a lettuce leaf on each pita, then top with cooked pork, sliced red onion, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of prepared yogurt sauce.

Step 8

Fold the pita around the filling and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade pork tenderloin pita sandwiches!
