Instructions
- 1. In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

- 4. Grill the pork tenderloin for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- 5. While the pork is grilling, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a medium bowl, combine the grated cucumber, minced garlic, Greek yogurt, fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- 6. To assemble the gyros, warm the pita breads on the grill or in a toaster. Spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce on each pita bread.
- 7. Slice the grilled pork tenderloin into thin strips. Place the pork strips on top of the tzatziki sauce on each pita bread.
- 8. Top with sliced tomatoes, onions, and lettuce. Squeeze some lemon juice over the filling.
- 9. Roll up the pita bread tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. Cut each gyro in half and serve immediately.
