Cooking Directions

  • 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.
  • Stir the yogurt, cucumber, lime juice and cilantro in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
  • 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.
  • 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.
