Ingredients

pita · pork · tzatziki · tomato · onion · french fries

*Souvlaki Hirino se Pita* is the wrapped pork form: the skewer's meat pulled off and folded into *pita* with tomato, onion, tzatziki, and fries. This is the version most people picture when they think of Greek street food, because the *pita* turns a stick of grilled meat into a complete handheld meal. The structure is layered and deliberate. Warm flatbread, hot pork off the *kalamaki*, cool acidic vegetables, garlicky yogurt, and starchy fries inside the same fold give you hot against cold, fat against acid, and a soft wrap holding it together.

The build order matters and good shops follow it. The *pita* is warmed, often brushed and passed over the grill so it is pliable and faintly toasted rather than cold and cracking. The pork comes straight off the skewer while still hot, the same shoulder cubes marinated in olive oil, lemon, oregano, and garlic. Then tomato and raw onion for acidity and bite, tzatziki for the cool garlic-yogurt counter, and fries packed in for starch and texture. Good execution is a wrap that holds its shape, every component distinct in the bite, the bread warm and the meat juicy. Sloppy execution shows fast: a cold or dry *pita* that tears and dumps its contents, soggy fries that went in limp, tzatziki applied so heavily it drowns the pork, or meat that sat too long off the grill and went cold and tight inside the fold. The wrap forgives a little, but a tired *pita* or watery tzatziki cannot be hidden.

This is the assembled counterpart to the bare skewer. The pork itself is identical to *Souvlaki Hirino Kalamaki*, the version eaten straight off the stick; here it is the filling rather than the whole dish, and that stick form stands on its own rather than being crowded in here. Swap the pork for lamb and you have *Souvlaki Arni se Pita*, the costlier wrapped version, which likewise deserves its own article. What defines this entry is the full *pita* assembly around pork: bread, meat, tomato, onion, tzatziki, and fries, judged on how the cook balances and contains them.
