Ingredients
- 250 grams seitan
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 pieces vegan pita bread
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 small cucumber, diced

Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, black pepper, soy sauce, lemon juice, and minced garlic to create a marinade.
Step 2
Slice the seitan into thin strips and add them to the marinade. Stir well to ensure all pieces are thoroughly coated. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Step 3
While the seitan is marinating, prepare the vegetables: halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and dice the cucumber.
Step 4
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the marinated seitan strips and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the seitan is browned and heated through.
Step 5
Warm the vegan pita breads in the oven or skillet according to package instructions.
Step 6
To assemble the yiros, spread a generous amount of vegan tzatziki sauce onto each warm pita bread.
Step 7
Top with cooked seitan, then add the cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cucumber.
Step 8
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for garnish.
Step 9
Fold the pita breads to enclose the filling and serve immediately.
