Vegan Gyro with Homemade Pita Bread

Ingredients

• 1 lb Seitan
• 4 pieces Pita Bread
• 1/2 medium Red Onion
• 2 medium Tomato
• 1 cup Vegan Tzatziki Sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 tablespoon Dried Oregano
• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

1. 1Slice the 1 lb of seitan into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick.
2. 2In a medium bowl, combine the seitan strips with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss everything together to coat the seitan evenly. Let it marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
3. 3Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C). Add the marinated seitan to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the seitan is browned and slightly crispy on the edges.
4. 4While the seitan is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Thinly slice 1/2 medium red onion and 2 medium tomatoes.
5. 5Warm the 4 pieces of pita bread. You can do this by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel and placing them in a warm oven for a few minutes, or by briefly heating them in a dry skillet over low heat until pliable.
6. 6To assemble the gyros, open each warm pita bread. Fill each pita with a portion of the cooked seitan, some of the sliced red onion, and some of the sliced tomato. Drizzle generously with 1 cup vegan tzatziki sauce.
