This vegan gyro sandwich is a flavorful plant-based version of the classic Greek dish. It features marinated tofu, fresh vegetables, and creamy tahini sauce, all wrapped in warm pita bread. Perfect for a quick and satisfying meal!

Ingredients

  • 1 block of firm tofu, sliced into strips
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 pita bread
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup sliced cucumbers
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add tofu strips and let marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook marinated tofu strips until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
  3. Warm up the pita bread in the pan or toaster until soft and pliable.
  4. Assemble the gyro sandwiches by layering lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, parsley, and crispy tofu strips in the warm pita bread.
  5. Drizzle with tahini sauce and serve immediately. Enjoy your vegan gyro sandwich!
