Greek Pork Pockets are a version of the classic pita pocket sandwich that originated in Greek Cuisine. This recipe features juicy and tender pork tenderloin marinated in caesar salad dressing and grilled until crispy. The pork is sliced thin and stuffed into a warm pita bread pocket with sliced cucumbers and red onions. The combination of contrasting flavors and textures makes it a unique and flavorful sandwich. The pocket is then drizzled with cucumber ranch salad dressing, another unique combination that provides a different taste. It's a quick and easy meal that can be customized to personal taste preference and made during busy work/school days.

Instructions

1.	In a glass dish, combine the pork tenderloin slices and caesar salad dressing, tossing to coat.
2.	In a large skillet, heat the canola oil over medium heat. Add the pork tenderloin slices and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
3.	Place the halved pita breads into the skillet, allowing them to brown and warm for 1-2 minutes on each side.
4.	Fill each pita bread half with sliced pork tenderloin, chopped cucumber, and red onion rings.
5.	Drizzle the cucumber ranch salad dressing over the top of each Greek pork pocket, and serve.
