Ingredients

• 300 grams Seitan
• 150 grams Soy yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Flatbreads or pita
• 1 large Tomato, sliced
• 0.5 medium Cucumber, sliced
• 0.5 medium Red onion, sliced
• 1 cup Lettuce, shredded
• 4 tablespoons Tahini sauce

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, mix together the soy yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Cut the seitan into thin strips and add them to the marinade. Ensure all pieces are well-coated. Cover and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated seitan strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly crispy and golden brown.

Step 4

Warm the flatbreads or pitas in a dry skillet or in the oven wrapped in foil.

Step 5

To assemble, lay the flatbread on a plate, add a portion of the cooked seitan, and top with slices of tomato, cucumber, and red onion. Add a handful of shredded lettuce.

Step 6

Drizzle the assembled kebab with tahini sauce.

Step 7

Roll or fold the flatbread around the fillings. Use parchment paper to wrap around one end for easier eating if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately while warm, accompanied by extra tahini sauce for dipping.
