Equipment

Ingredients

  • For the gyro filling:
  • 1 block of extra firm tofu drained and crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4-6 pita breads
  • 1 cup lettuce shredded
  • 1 cup tomato diced
  • 1/2 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • For the tzatziki sauce:
  • 1 cup vegan yogurt
  • 1/2 cup cucumber grated and drained
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the crumbled tofu, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the tofu is crispy and golden brown.
  • While the tofu is cooking, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a mixing bowl, combine the vegan yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
  • Warm the pita bread in the oven for 2-3 minutes.
  • To assemble the gyro, spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce on each pita bread. Add a layer of shredded lettuce, diced tomato, sliced red onion, and the cooked tofu. Roll up the pita and serve.
