Experience the bold, savory flavors of the Mediterranean with this Vegan Lamb Souvlaki Wrap—a plant-based twist on a Greek classic. Tender tempeh cubes are marinated in a zesty blend of olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, and spices like oregano, cumin, and smoked paprika, then grilled to perfection for a smoky, charred finish. Wrapped in warm vegan pita bread and layered with fresh vegetables—like crisp cucumber, juicy cherry tomatoes, and sweet bell peppers—this wrap is crowned with a creamy vegan tzatziki sauce that ties every flavor together. Perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, this recipe is packed with protein, vibrant colors, and authentic Mediterranean flair, making it a satisfying and healthy option for any occasion.
Slice the tempeh into 1-inch cubes.
In a shallow dish, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the tempeh cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let the tempeh marinate for at least 30 minutes. For best results, marinate for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat.
Once heated, add the marinated tempeh cubes and cook, turning occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes or until charred and heated through.
Warm the vegan pita breads in a skillet or directly over a stovetop flame until pliable.
To assemble each wrap, place a warm pita on a plate. Spread a generous amount of vegan tzatziki sauce across the center.
Add a portion of grilled tempeh, followed by slices of red bell pepper, red onion, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
Wrap tightly and serve immediately. Enjoy your Vegan 'Lamb' Souvlaki Wrap!
