Tips:
- To make the pork extra flavorful, marinate it overnight in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, oregano, and rosemary.
- If you don't have time to marinate the pork, you can still make this recipe by pounding the pork cutlets thin and then cooking them quickly over high heat.
- If you don't have any pita bread, you can use tortillas or naan bread instead.
- To make the tzatziki sauce, you can use either Greek yogurt or plain yogurt. If you use plain yogurt, be sure to strain it first to remove excess water.
