Souvlaki with Gluten-Free Pita Bread

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Chicken or pork cubes
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1.5 tsp Dried oregano
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 4 pitas Gluten-free pita bread
• 1 cup Tzatziki sauce
• 1 Tomato
• 0.5 Red onion
• 0.5 Cucumber

Instructions

1. 1In a medium bowl, combine the 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1.5 teaspoons of dried oregano, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir these ingredients together until well combined to create the marinade.
2. 2Add the 1.5 lbs of chicken or pork cubes to the bowl with the marinade and toss gently until all the meat is evenly coated. Cover the bowl tightly and place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours, to allow the flavors to develop.
3. 3Preheat your grill to medium heat, aiming for a temperature of 375°F (190°C).
4. 4Carefully thread the marinated chicken or pork cubes onto skewers. Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, turning them every 3-4 minutes, until the meat is golden brown on all sides and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken or pork should reach 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
5. 5While the skewers are grilling, warm the 4 gluten-free pita breads. You can do this by placing them directly on the grill for 1-2 minutes per side, or in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 minutes, until they are soft and pliable.
6. 6Slice the 1 tomato, 0.5 red onion, and 0.5 cucumber into thin, even slices, approximately 1/8-inch thick.
7. 7Arrange the grilled skewers on a serving platter. Serve immediately with the warmed 4 gluten-free pita breads, the 1 cup of tzatziki sauce, and the sliced 1 tomato, 0.5 red onion, and 0.5 cucumber on the side for assembly.
