Ingredients
- 400 grams Plant-based chicken strips
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 Pita breads

Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the plant-based chicken strips with olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the strips are well-coated with the seasoning.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned plant-based chicken strips and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and heated through.
Step 3
While the chicken strips are cooking, prepare the vegetables: Thinly slice the cucumber, tomato, and red onion.
Step 4
Warm the pita breads in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
Step 5
To assemble the gyros, spread about 2 tablespoons of tzatziki sauce onto each pita bread.
Step 6
Place a lettuce leaf on top of the sauce, then add a portion of the cooked chicken strips.
Step 7
Top with sliced cucumber, tomato, red onion, and a sprinkle of feta cheese if using.
Step 8
Roll up each pita around the fillings and serve immediately. Enjoy your Vegetarian Chicken Gyros with extra tzatziki sauce on the side if desired.
