Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz extra-firm tofu
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 small cucumber
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp fresh dill
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 4 pieces pita bread
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 1 small red onion
- 4 lettuce leaves
Instructions
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Add tofu strips and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the tofu marinates, prepare the tzatziki sauce: Grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess water. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, dill, minced garlic cloves, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined and set aside.
Chop the tomatoes and slice the red onion thinly. Set aside for assembly.
Preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Grill marinated tofu strips for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and slightly crispy.
Warm the pita bread slightly to make it pliable.
To assemble the gyro, spread a generous layer of tzatziki sauce on each pita bread, add lettuce leaf, layer with grilled tofu strips, add sliced tomatoes, and red onion.
Wrap the pita tightly around the fillings and serve immediately.
