Preparation
- Fry the Veggie Gyros
Heat olive oil in a pan and fry the Veggie Gyros over medium heat until golden brown. This develops the savory roasted aromas. - Prepare the Tzatziki
Mix soy yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Optionally stir in dill or mint. - Warm the Pita
Briefly warm the pita or flatbreads in the oven, toaster, or a pan. This makes them soft and perfect for filling. - Fill the Pita
Cut open the pitas and fill them with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and the freshly fried gyros. Finally, top with the creamy tzatziki.
Tip: If you briefly toast the pita in the pan before filling, it will get a particularly aromatic, slightly crispy surface.
