Ingredients

• 400 grams Seitan
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 250 grams Soy yogurt
• 1 cup Cucumber, grated
• 2 tablespoons Dill, chopped
• 2 teaspoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 large Tomato, sliced
• 1 small Red onion, thinly sliced
• 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
• 4 large Pita breads

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, cumin, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.

Step 2

Slice the seitan into thin strips and mix thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

Step 3

While the seitan is marinating, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a separate bowl, combine soy yogurt, grated cucumber, dill, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the marinated seitan and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the seitan is browned and heated through.

Step 5

Warm the pita breads slightly on a dry skillet for about 1 minute on each side.

Step 6

Assemble the yiros by spreading some tzatziki sauce on each pita bread, then layer with cooked seitan, tomatoes, red onion slices, and a lettuce leaf.

Step 7

Serve immediately, wrapping the pita around the filling and enjoying the fresh, vibrant flavors of this Vegan Lamb Yiros.
