Directions:
In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the cucumbers and jalapeno and let sit, tossing occasionally, for at least 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the pork, breaking up with a spoon until no longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the hoisin, ginger and 2 tablespoons water.

Fill the pita halves with the pork and cucumber salad.

Personal Notes:
I use regular cucumbers and omit the jalapeno. I also prefer flatbread over pitas. They are really good if you warm them first.
