Directions
1.
Stir 3 tablespoons picante sauce, yogurt and lime juice in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Stir the remaining picante sauce and garlic powder in a small bowl.

Lightly oil the grill rack and heat the grill to medium-high. Grill the pork for 15 minutes or until it's cooked through, turning and brushing often with the picante sauce mixture. Discard any remaining picante sauce mixture.
3.
Slice the pork into thin strips. Divide the pork among the pita breads. Top with the yogurt mixture, lettuce and green onion. Fold the pitas around the filling.
