Instructions
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, up to 12 hours for best results.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) for the fries.
Spread the cut potatoes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
To prepare the dairy-free tzatziki, squeeze excess moisture from the grated cucumber. In a bowl, mix together the cucumber, vegan yogurt, finely chopped mint leaves, and dill. Add salt to taste and set aside in the refrigerator for flavors to meld.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken thighs for about 6-8 minutes per side or until they are fully cooked and have charred edges. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
Warm the dairy-free pita breads on a skillet or directly over a gas flame until slightly charred and pliable.
Assemble the gyro platter by placing sliced chicken, crispy fries, tomato slices, red onion, and lettuce leaves onto each plate. Serve with warm pita and a generous dollop of dairy-free tzatziki on the side.
