Spread tzatziki over the pita pocket layer the pork, add sauteed onions and tomatoes and spread tzatziki on top then sprinkle paprika.

* I got this recipe from recipezaar but i added a few perks because i like spicy foods. Don’t be afraid to add chili flakes or chopped jalapeño peppers or any spice you like just to make it more tastier. enJOY!

You can buy Tzatziki dip in you regular grocery store in the deli section or any European deli stores.  This recipe is good with cold beer or chilled white wine.
