Description
Tender, well-seasoned slices in warm pita bread with fresh toppings — Vegan Greek gyros deliver all the bold street food flavor you love, totally meat-free.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 block firm tofu, sliced, or 2 cups seitan strips or soy curls
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Juice of 1 large lemon
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper
- 4–6 warm pita breads
- Sliced tomatoes
- Red onions
- Lettuce
- Vegan tzatziki (coconut or almond yogurt)
- Fresh parsley or dill
Instructions
- Slice protein into thin strips. If using soy curls, soak in warm water until rehydrated, then squeeze dry.
- Whisk marinade ingredients in a bowl. Toss protein in marinade, cover, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high. Sear marinated strips until lightly browned and edges are crisp.
- Warm pita bread in a dry pan or oven.
- Assemble: fill pita with vegan gyro strips, tomatoes, onions, lettuce, herbs, and vegan tzatziki.
Notes
Press tofu well before marinating for more flavor. Marinate longer for deeper taste. For extra crisp, pan-sear until edges are golden.
