Ingredients

• 8 ounces Seitan
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 medium, grated and drained Cucumber
• 1 cup Plain vegan yogurt
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh dill
• 1 clove, minced Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large, sliced Tomato
• 0.5 large, thinly sliced Red onion
• 1 cup, shredded Romaine lettuce
• 4 pieces Pita bread

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the marinade for the seitan. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, cumin, soy sauce, and lemon juice.

Step 2

Slice the seitan into thin strips. Place the strips in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Stir to coat thoroughly and let it marinate for at least 20 minutes, or ideally up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.

Step 3

While the seitan is marinating, prepare the vegan tzatziki sauce. Grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess water using a cheesecloth or a clean towel to ensure the sauce doesn't become watery.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine the grated cucumber, vegan yogurt, dill, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and then refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated seitan strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are heated through and slightly crispy.

Step 6

To assemble the gyro wraps, warm each piece of pita bread in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.

Step 7

Spread a generous spoonful of vegan tzatziki sauce down the center of each pita. Top with cooked seitan, sliced tomato, red onion, and shredded romaine lettuce.

Step 8

Fold the pita over the filling, wrap it in a piece of parchment or foil for easier eating, and serve immediately.
