Meanwhile, add Greek cream cheese to a small mixing bowl.

Slice vidalia onion into as thin of slices as you can manage.
20
For each serving, take a pita and cut in half.

If you have pitas that are airy inside and form pockets, place desired amount of lettuce in the bottom, followed by shredded pork.
22
Then drizzle cucumber mint sauce over top and garnish with tomatoes/onion.
23
If your pitas don't have pockets, simply put ingredients in the middle like a taco.
