Juicy shredded Redefine with dairy-free tzatziki, fresh veggies, and fries – all wrapped up in one glorious pita.
First things first: What’s the difference between gyros and shawarma?
It’s not just the name.
While Turkish döner (and Middle Eastern shawarma) often come with hummus or tahini, the Greek version – gyros – is all about that tzatziki.
💥 The vegan version that stole my heart
I recently tried the vegan gyros at Goodness and couldn’t stop thinking about it.
Naturally, I had to recreate it at home – and oh my, it worked!
Instead of lamb, veal or turkey:
👉 Shredded Redefine (or any plant-based meat) sautéed with spices, caramelized onion, and garlic.
Instead of hummus or tahini:
👉 Creamy vegan tzatziki that brings tang, freshness, and balance.
🥙 How to build the perfect Greek-style wrap:
- Spread a generous layer of vegan tzatziki on a warm pita
- Add halved cherry tomatoes and sliced hot peppers
- Sprinkle with fresh arugula leaves
- Top with the seasoned shredded plant-based meat
- Add crispy fries
- Roll it up – and serve with more tzatziki on the side!
💫 Every bite = pure delight 😋❣
Crunchy, juicy, creamy, tangy – this wrap brings sunshine to your plate, no matter where you are.
