Add the pork and marinate for up to 4 hours. Allow pork to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.
  2. For the tzatziki, place the diced cucumber in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. In a mixing bowl, mix together the cucumber, yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and dill. Season with kosher salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
  3. For the tomato and artichoke salad, gently combine the tomatoes, artichokes, feta, olives, onion, garlic, oregano, and dill in a mixing bowl. Season with kosher salt and pepper to taste. Let stand at room temperature for at least an hour before serving.
  4. Grill the pork on medium heat for 20-30 minutes, rotating the pork every ten minutes or so. Allow the pork to rest for 10 minutes before cutting into ½ inch-thick slices.
  5. To serve, place a few slices of pork in the middle of the pita and add some of the tomato and artichoke salad and tzatziki sauce on top. Fold up pita and enjoy!
