Olives

Start by seasoning the pork tenderloin or chicken breast with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Ensure the meat is evenly coated with the spices.

Season the Meat

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned meat and sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through and golden brown.

Cook the Meat

Once cooked, remove the meat from the skillet and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing it thinly.

Slice the Meat

While the meat is cooking, thinly slice the red onion, tomato, and cucumber. Set aside.

Prepare the Vegetables

Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces or leave them whole for a crunchier texture.

Prepare the Lettuce

In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped dill. Stir well to combine and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Make the Sauce

Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to make it pliable.

Warm the Pita

On each pita, layer the sliced meat, prepared vegetables, and drizzle with the yogurt sauce.

Assemble the Gyros

Fold the pita over the fillings and serve immediately.
