We really enjoyed this recipe. I only had a london broil, so I used that instead of flank steak. I also ended up using a tortilla shell, only because I thought I had pita bread and really didn't!! Goofy me. It was still really good. I enjoyed the flavor and the house smelled absolutely wonderful. Next time I am going to try and add tzatziki as I think it would add even more flavor. Thank you for posting!
