The word "souvlaki"
comes from the Greek word
"souvla," meaning skewer.
Souvlaki in Greece is about as
popular as hamburgers are in the
U.S. when it comes to fast food. It
can be eaten straight off the
skewer, or inside a pita with
sauces and vegetables, like this
one. Sometimes paprika is sprinkled
on top of the whole pita, so we
used a spice blend that contains
paprika in addition to other spices
like onion, garlic, ginger, and
cayenne pepper to season the meat.
