Vegan gyros

These gyros are one of my favorite recipes to make when I have vegan “meat” on hand. They are simple, savory, yet light because of the veggies and herbs I’ve added.

Serves: 1

Ingredients:

• 1 pita, sliced in half and lightly toasted.
• 1/2 lb of light life vegan ground “meat” (or use any vegan ground “meat”).
• 1/4 tsp dried oregano.
• 1/4 tsp dried basil.
• 1/4 tsp dried parsley.
• 1/4 tsp dried thyme.
• 1/4 tsp ground cumin.
• 1/4 tsp ground coriander.
• Sea salt and black pepper to taste.
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder.
• 1/4 tsp onion powder.

For stuffing the pita:

• Red bell pepper, chopped.
• Fresh dill.
• Chopped black olives.
• Bib lettuce.
• Vegan Tzatziki sauce.

Directions:

Heat some oil in a pan at medium high heat. Mix together the vegan ground “meat”, all the dried herbs, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Roll into 5-6 balls and add to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes flipping over often. When fully cooked remove from the heat. Fill the pita halves with the bell pepper, dill, olives, lettuce, and vegan tzatziki. Fill with 2-3 of the “meat” gyros. Enjoy!
