Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Seitan
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 medium, grated and drained Cucumber
- 1 cup Plain vegan yogurt
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh dill
- 1 clove, minced Garlic

Instructions
Begin by preparing the marinade for the seitan. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, cumin, soy sauce, and lemon juice.
Slice the seitan into thin strips. Place the strips in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Stir to coat thoroughly and let it marinate for at least 20 minutes, or ideally up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
While the seitan is marinating, prepare the vegan tzatziki sauce. Grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess water using a cheesecloth or a clean towel to ensure the sauce doesn't become watery.
In a medium bowl, combine the grated cucumber, vegan yogurt, dill, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and then refrigerate until ready to use.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated seitan strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are heated through and slightly crispy.
To assemble the gyro wraps, warm each piece of pita bread in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
Spread a generous spoonful of vegan tzatziki sauce down the center of each pita. Top with cooked seitan, sliced tomato, red onion, and shredded romaine lettuce.
Fold the pita over the filling, wrap it in a piece of parchment or foil for easier eating, and serve immediately.
