Pour marinade over the meat and toss to coat evenly.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for better flavor.

Thread the marinated meat onto skewers, leaving space between pieces.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred.

Warm pita bread on the grill for 1-2 minutes until soft.

Serve skewers with fresh tomato, onion, and tzatziki sauce in the warm pita.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
