Ingredients 

For the vegan tzatziki:

  • ½ cucumber shredded
  • 200 ml yogurt non-dairy
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp fresh mint minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano

For the marinated tofu:

  • 400 g tofu
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 4 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp ground coriander
  • ½ tsp ground cumin

For the vegan gyros:

  • 4 pita bread
  • 2 tomatoes sliced
  • ½ cucumber sliced
  • ½ red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 pickled cucumbers thinly sliced
  • 1 cup baby beet leaves or baby spinach
  • 1 cup cooked potato wedges

Instructions

  • For the vegan tzatziki:
  • In a bowl, mix all the ingredients until well incorporated. Season to taste and store in the fridge.
  • For the marinated tofu:
  • Mix together all of the ingredients for the tofu marinade until smooth.
  • On a large plate, pour the marinade over the tofu and turn the tofu block over to coat all sides.
  • Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or leave it overnight.
  • Slice the tofu into thin slices of random shapes to mimic shredded grilled chicken.
  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the tofu slices, stirring occasionally, for about 7 minutes. Remove from the pan.
  • For the vegan gyros:
  • Warm the pita bread on a dry pan over medium heat.
  • Assemble each pita with the sliced veggies, tofu, salad leaves, potatoes, and tzatziki.
  • Roll it up and enjoy.

Notes

Make the tofu marinade ahead and let it sit overnight for the deepest flavour. The vegan tzatziki keeps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Assemble the wraps just before serving so the pita stays soft and the veggies stay crisp.
