Pita Stuffed Souvlaki

PaulaG's Note:

If you are like me, sometimes there is to much of a good thing and that leaves leftovers. I made CountryLady's Greek Souvlaki and there was about 6 ounces left. What to with it? Stuffed Pita's of course. This is an quick fix for leftover Souvlaki. Of course you will also need leftover tzatziki! For a quick weeknight meal for two, serve with a large Greek salad.

Simple and yummy. I had cooked, sliced lamb from my grocery store and homemade tzatziki. I was able to put this together in minutes. I enjoyed every bite. Thanks for posting! ~Made for Zee Zesties on the ZWT6~
