Yum! Instead of pitas, I used little whole wheat pita sandwich breads cause pitas were not available at my grocery store.

This is delicious and pairs VERY well with the Greek Vegetable Salad also available on TOH.com. (0=

The recipe calls for 4t oil, divided, but doesn't say where to put 2 of the teaspoons. I put it in the bag with the meat and it was great. I also added chopped cucumber to the sauce and it was a nice addition.
