Pork Tenderloin Pita Sandwiches
"I adopted this recipe. I prepared it using Recipe #107646 for the spice rub and Recipe #51983 in the finished pitas. The seasoning was perfect and the tzatziki was the perfect complement. This will become a regular in my menu rotation."

If your looking for a gyro flavor, go elsewhere, this is not it. The pork tenderdloin is mouthwateringly tenderloin and a much more subtle flavoring then a gyro would be. I used a greek spice blend on the meat and cooked it about 23 minutes for my familys taste. I used a different Tzatziki recipe as well. The onions and peppers on the sandwich along with the warm meat where a perfect contrast to the cold tangy tzatziki. A sure repeat here.
