Ingredients

Vegan gyros filling

2 tbsp olive oil
1 280g / 10 oz block extra-firm tofu
1 tsp oregano
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp liquid smoke

For serving

1 small lettuce roughly chopped
1 small red onion halved and sliced
2 medium tomatoes sliced
chili flakes
oregano

Instructions

Vegan gyros filling

Slice tofu into thin, small pieces.
TIP: For varied shapes in the vegan gyros, cut the tofu into irregular chunks, then thinly slice at an angle.
Heat up olive oil in a non-stick frying pan on medium-high heat. Add the sliced tofu and fry for about 5 minutes until evenly browned.
Reduce heat to medium. Add all the spices and nutritional yeast to the pan, and fry for 1 more minute.
Stir together soy sauce, vinegar and liquid smoke (if using). Add to the pan and stir to combine.
Cook for about 2 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated, and take the pan off the heat.
To assemble your gyros wrap, lay a pita bread on a square of parchment paper, then top with a generous layer of vegan tzatziki, lettuce, tomatoes, red onion and the tofu gyros filling. Sprinkle chili flakes or oregano on top if desired.
To wrap, pinch the sides of the pita together, fold the parchment paper over on each side and then fold and tuck the excess at the base behind the wrap.
Repeat to make all the wraps and then enjoy your homemade vegan gyros!
