Ingredients

• 400 grams extra-firm tofu
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium red onion
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons oregano
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 small cucumber
• 1 cup vegan yogurt
• 1 tablespoon dill
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 4 large flatbreads
• 2 medium tomatoes
• 1 bunch lettuce

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu with a tofu press or between paper towels with a heavy object on top for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

Cut the pressed tofu into 1.5-inch cubes. Chop the red bell pepper and red onion into similar-sized pieces.

Step 3

In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, chopped garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Add the tofu cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.

Step 5

While the tofu is marinating, prepare the vegan tzatziki sauce. Grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess water.

Step 6

Combine the grated cucumber, vegan yogurt, chopped dill, vinegar, a pinch of salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir well and refrigerate.

Step 7

Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Thread the marinated tofu, red bell pepper, and onion onto skewers.

Step 9

Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tofu is golden and the vegetables are tender.

Step 10

Warm the flatbreads on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.

Step 11

Assemble the souvlaki by placing a skewer on each flatbread. Remove the skewer, leaving the ingredients on the bread.

Step 12

Top with fresh slices of tomato, lettuce, and a generous dollop of vegan tzatziki.

Step 13

Fold the flatbread around the filling and serve immediately.
