  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest

  • 1/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives
  • 1/2 cup prepared tzatziki sauce

RECIPE DIRECTIONS

    • In large resealable bag, combine pork, 1/4 cup oil, vinegar, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, mint, salt and pepper. Marinate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
    • Remove pork from marinade, shaking off excess; discard marinade. Heat remaining oil in large skillet set over medium-high heat; sauté pork for 5 to 6 minutes or until just cooked through. Assemble pork in tortillas with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion and olives; drizzle with tzatziki sauce.

     

    Tips:

    • Substitute chicken for pork if desired.
    • Alternatively, thread marinated pork on skewers; grill instead of sautéing.
    • Top tacos with finely crumbled feta cheese if desired.
