Thread pork onto metal skewers; brush with any remaining marinade. Place on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill turning halfway through, until juices run clear when pork is pieced and just a hint of pink remains inside, about 12 minutes. Remove from skewers. Server with tomatoes, onions, lettuce and Tzatziki on pitas.
