Steps:
- For the chicken and pork: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, yogurt, lemon juice, cumin, oregano, salt, Aleppo pepper, black pepper and garlic.

Stack the skewers on a platter.

- Add the onions and lemons to the platter with the souvlaki. Serve with romaine, pita and tzatziki.
