Ingredients

• 2 cups soy curls
• 2 cups boiling water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 large garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons ground paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 pieces wraps or flatbreads (vegan)
• 1 medium cucumber, sliced
• 1 large tomato, diced
• 0.5 medium red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 cup vegan yogurt
• 2 tablespoons tahini
• 2 tablespoons hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Place the soy curls in a large mixing bowl and cover them with boiling water. Let them soak for 10 minutes until soft.

Step 2

Drain the soy curls and squeeze out any excess water.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, black pepper, and salt to form a marinade.

Step 4

Add the drained soy curls to the marinade and mix thoroughly. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors. Meanwhile, prepare the remaining ingredients.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the marinated soy curls for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are lightly browned.

Step 6

To assemble the roll, lay a wrap or flatbread on a flat surface.

Step 7

Spread a generous dollop of vegan yogurt mixed with tahini across the center of the wrap.

Step 8

Layer the cooked soy curls on top, followed by slices of cucumber, diced tomato, sliced red onion, and chopped parsley.

Step 9

Add a drizzle of hot sauce if you like some extra heat.

Step 10

Roll the wrap tightly, tucking in the sides as you go.

Step 11

Serve immediately or wrap in foil to save for later.
