Here's another simple recipe for summer time. We love Greek Gyros (sounds like year-o's) out here. They are super yummy. This is nothing like them. But. . . they are sort of similar and even the kids thought they were tasty.
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp prepared mustard
1-3/4 tsp minced garlic, divided
1 tsp dried oregano
1 pork tenderloin
1 cup chopped peeled cucumber
1 cup plain yogurt
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dill weed
8 flour tortillas (or pitas would be good too)
1/2 cup chopped green onions
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the lemon juice, oil, mustard, 1-1/4 tsp garlic and oregano; add the pork. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 2 hours.
In a bowl, combine the cucumber, yogurt, salt, dill and remaining garlic; cover and refrigerate until serving.
Drain and discard marinade. Coat grill rack with nonstick cooking spray before starting the grill for indirect medium-hot heat. Grill tenderloin, uncovered, over direct-heated area for 5 minutes, turning once. Move to indirect-heated area; cover and cook 10-15 minutes longer or until meat thermometer reads 160 degrees. Let stand for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in foil; place on grill for 2-3 minutes or until warmed, turning once. Slice tenderloin into strips; place on tortillas. Top with yogurt sauce and green onions. 4 servings.
