1/2
cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
-
1/4
cup diced cucumber

How to Make It
Step 1
Pour 1 cup picante sauce into a shallow nonmetallic dish or gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Add the pork and turn to coat. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Step 2
Stir the yogurt, cucumber, lime juice and cilantro in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
Step 3
Lightly oil the grill rack and heat the grill to medium-high. Remove the pork from the picante sauce and discard the picante sauce. Grill the pork for 25 minutes or until cooked through. Slice the pork into thin strips.
Step 4
Top each pita bread with about 1 tablespoon remaining picante sauce. Top with the pork, lettuce, green onion and yogurt mixture. Fold the pita breads around the filling.
Recipe Tips
- To warm the pita breads, wrap them together in a plain paper towel. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute or until slightly warm to the touch.
- For pita pizzas, grill the pita breads until crisp, then top with the picante sauce, pork, lettuce, green onion and yogurt mixture.
