Directions

Step 1

Drain the tofu and press it between two plates to remove excess moisture. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.

Once pressed, cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.

In a bowl, mix soy sauce, smoked paprika, cumin powder, ground coriander, and garlic powder.

Step 4

Add the tofu cubes to the marinade and let them sit for at least 15 minutes.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the marinated tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 10-12 minutes.

Step 7

Warm the pita breads in a dry skillet or oven for a few minutes until soft.

Step 8

Thinly slice the red onion, cucumber, and tomatoes.

Step 9

To make the dressing, combine tahini, lemon juice, water, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.

Step 10

To assemble the sandwiches, open each pita bread and layer with lettuce, cooked tofu cubes, sliced onion, cucumber, and tomatoes.

Step 11

Drizzle the tahini dressing generously over the top.

Step 12

Serve immediately while the tofu is warm and the vegetables are fresh and crisp.
