Ingredients
- For the Tofu Souvlaki:
- 1 block (14 oz) extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- For the Pickled Onions:
- 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Wrap Assembly:
- 4 large pita breads or flatbreads, warmed
- 1 cup hummus
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cucumber, sliced thin
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley or dill, chopped
- 1/4 cup vegan tzatziki (optional)
- Squeeze of lemon juice
Instructions
- Press your tofu for at least 20 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, chili flakes, salt, and pepper to create the souvlaki marinade.
- Add the tofu cubes to the marinade, toss gently to coat, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
- For the pickled onions, heat apple cider vinegar, water, maple syrup, and salt in a saucepan until warm. Pour over sliced red onions in a jar and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add marinated tofu in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crispy. Cook in batches if needed.
- Assemble the vegan Greek souvlaki wraps by spreading hummus on warmed pita bread.
- Top with cooked tofu souvlaki, pickled onions, tomatoes, cucumber, herbs, and vegan tzatziki if using.
- Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and wrap tightly.
Notes
- Pressing the tofu is crucial for achieving a firm, meat-like texture.
- Marinating the tofu longer will enhance the flavor.
- Quick-pickled onions add a perfect tangy crunch and can be stored for up to two weeks.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
