• 1 small Cucumber
• 2 medium Tomato
• 1 medium Red onion
• 4 large Lettuce leaves
• 4 Flatbreads
• 1 cup Plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Slice the seitan into thin strips.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, dried oregano, soy sauce, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the seitan strips and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 20 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, prepare the garlic sauce by mixing plain yogurt, minced parsley, and minced small garlic clove. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4

Thinly slice the cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated seitan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and slightly crispy.

Step 6

Warm the flatbreads in a dry pan or oven.

Step 7

To assemble, lay a flatbread on a flat surface and place a lettuce leaf on it. Add a portion of the cooked seitan, then top with cucumber slices, tomato slices, and red onion.

Step 8

Drizzle a generous amount of garlic yogurt sauce over the vegetables.

Step 9

Roll the flatbread tightly into a wrap and serve immediately.
