Vegan Souvlaki with Pita and Tzatziki

Ingredients

• 1 block Firm Tofu
• 0.25 cup Olive Oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
• 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 4 pieces Pita Bread
• 1 cup Coconut Yogurt
• 0.5 medium Cucumber
• 1 clove Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Dill

Instructions

1. 1Place the 1 block Firm Tofu on a clean surface and press it firmly to remove as much excess water as possible. Once pressed, cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
2. 2In a medium bowl, whisk together the 0.25 cup Olive Oil, 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice, 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano, 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder, 0.5 teaspoon Smoked Paprika, 0.5 teaspoon Salt, and 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper until well combined.
3. 3Add the 1-inch cubes of tofu to the bowl with the marinade. Gently toss to ensure all the tofu pieces are coated. Let the tofu marinate for at least 20 minutes.
4. 4While the tofu is marinating, prepare the tzatziki. Grate the 0.5 medium Cucumber and place it in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible. In a separate small bowl, combine the 1 cup Coconut Yogurt, the grated cucumber, 1 clove minced Garlic, and 2 tablespoons Fresh Dill. Stir until everything is well mixed.
5. 5Thread the marinated tofu cubes onto skewers. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C). Grill the tofu skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning them every few minutes, until they are golden brown and slightly crispy on all sides.
6. 6Warm the 4 pieces of Pita Bread according to your preferred method (e.g., on the grill for a minute per side, or in a toaster).
7. 7Assemble the souvlaki by filling each warm pita bread with the grilled tofu skewers and a generous amount of the prepared tzatziki sauce.
