Before you cook

• Combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, salt and pepper in a bowl to make the marinade.

• Cover and marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Steps

1. Heat a large skillet or griddle over high heat until very hot.
2. Lay the marinated pork slices in the pan in a single layer, working in batches if needed.
3. Sear the pork for 3 minutes without stirring, until deeply browned underneath.
4. Flip the slices and sear the other side for 2 minutes, until cooked through and crisp at the edges.
5. Warm the pita breads briefly on the hot pan or in a low oven.
6. Spread a spoonful of tzatziki down the center of each warm pita.
7. Pile the hot pork over the tzatziki.
8. Top with tomato wedges and sliced red onion.
9. Tuck a few fries into the wrap if using.
10. Roll the pita tightly around the filling and wrap the bottom in paper to serve.
