Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, and dried coriander.
- Mix well to create a marinade.
- Slice the pork fillets into thin strips.
- Place the pork strips into the bowl with the marinade.
- Toss the pork to ensure all pieces are well-coated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes. For an enhanced flavor, you can let it marinate for up to an hour in the refrigerator.
- Heat a large skillet or non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated pork strips to the skillet in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Cook the pork for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly browned.
- Once cooked, transfer the pork to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- While the pork is cooking, lightly warm the pita breads.
- You can heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they are soft and pliable.
- Alternatively, you can warm them in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 5 minutes.
- Place a portion of the cooked pork strips onto each pita bread.
- You can add your favorite toppings such as sliced tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, lettuce, tzatziki sauce, or feta cheese.
- Fold the pita bread around the filling to form a wrap.
- Serve the yiros immediately while they are warm.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, marinate the pork fillets for a few hours or overnight.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is cooked through; it should reach an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C).
- Warm the pita breads in the oven or on a skillet before serving for a soft and warm texture.
- Add some fresh vegetables like tomatoes, red onions, and lettuce as toppings for extra crunch and flavor.
- Serve with a side of tzatziki sauce for an authentic Greek experience.
