Steps

1
Whisk the yoghurt, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, paprika and cumin with a good pinch of salt and pepper into a marinade.
2
Turn the sliced pork through the marinade until every piece is coated, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Overnight is better.
3
Cut the potatoes into chips and fry them in the sunflower oil, heated to 175°C, until golden and crisp. Drain them on paper and salt them while they are still hot.
4
Heat a heavy pan or griddle until very hot. Cook the pork in a single layer and in batches, so it sears rather than steams, about 3 minutes a side until the edges char.
5
Warm the pitas one at a time on the dry pan until they puff and turn pliable.
6
Spread each pita with tzatziki, then layer on the pork, tomato, red onion and a few chips.
7
Roll the pita tightly, wrapping the bottom half in paper to hold it together, and serve at once.
