Ingredients

• Pork belly - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Low-carb tortilla or lettuce leaves - 2 pieces
• Cucumber - 50 grams, sliced
• Tomato - 50 grams, diced
• Red onion - 30 grams, thinly sliced
• Feta cheese - 50 grams, crumbled
• Greek yogurt - 3 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Score the skin of the pork belly in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.
3. In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
4. Rub the marinade all over the pork belly, ensuring it gets into the scored skin.
5. Place the pork belly on a baking tray and roast it in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the meat is tender.
6. Remove the pork belly from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
7. While the pork is resting, prepare the toppings by slicing the cucumber, dicing the tomato, and slicing the red onion.
8. In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with lemon juice and a pinch of salt to create a sauce.
9. To assemble the gyros, place a couple of strips of pork belly onto the low-carb tortilla or lettuce leaves, and top with cucumber, tomato, red onion, feta cheese, and the yogurt sauce.
10. Fold the tortilla or wrap the lettuce around the filling and serve immediately.
