Grilled Tofu Gyros with Vegan Greek Tzatziki Sauce
Grilled Tofu Gyros with a light homemade Vegan Tzatziki Sauce: one of my favorite Greek dishes, easy to make, and way healthier than the original recipe!
Mix together all of the ingredients for the tofu marinade.
Gently press the tofu and remove all the excess water, then cut it into 8-10 slices.
Pour the marinade over the tofu slices, making sure to coat both sides.
Cook for about 5 minutes per side on the grills (or on a non-sticking pan), flipping halfway through. The tofu should become crispy and golden on the outside.
For the vegan tzatziki sauce
Finely shred the cucumber, add the salt, and let it drain in a colander for at least 10 minutes.
Mix together the Greek yogurt, oil, garlic powder, black pepper, lemon juice, salt, and white vinegar in a bowl.
Take the cucumber and squeeze out any more excess liquid using your hands or cheesecloth.
Add to the yogurt mixture, and stir very well. Add the fresh dill, and place the tzatziki in the fridge for a couple of minutes before serving.
For the vegan gyros
Heat the pita for a couple of minutes on a pan.
Now it's time to assemble the vegan gyros: place the tomatoes, shredded lettuce, onion, and fries on the bottom, place the grilled tofu, and cover everything with the vegan tzatziki.
Wrap the gyros and enjoy while still warm!
