Ingredients

  • 1 bag vegan chicken strips

Tzatziki sauce

  • 10 oz plain vegan yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 medium cucumber peeled and seeds removed
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon dried dill
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Marinade

  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 TB lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 2 TB olive oil extra virgin
  • 2 TB plain vegan yogurt
  • 1 TB dried oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste

Toppings

  • Soft Pita Bread
  • Red Onion cut into slices
  • Tomatoes cut into chunks

Instructions

  • Start that first if you're making your own soft wrap bread. An awesome recipe for soft wrap bread is here.
  • If you're using store-bought, then start below.
  • Start by thawing your vegan chicken strips just enough so you can cut them. Cut them into strips and set them aside while you make the marinade.
  • Mix all the marinade ingredients and mix the fake chicken strips into it. Cover and put in the fridge for at least 1 hour. You can do it overnight if you have the time.
  • Make tzatziki sauce. Start by shredding your peeled and seeded cucumber. I use a cheese grater.    You want the strain all the liquid you possibly can from the cucumber. I start by just hand squeezing multiple times and then finish squeezing with paper towels to help soak up the water. Set it aside- you will likely have to squeeze this again. Mix all the additional ingredients until incorporated, then add the cucumber shreds and mix well. Cover and stick in the fridge to marinate. It's best if it sits for a few hours or even overnight.
  • Cook your vegan chicken strips according to the back of the package- mine takes 15-20minutes @ 425 degrees. All the marinade should be soaked into the strips.
  • Once that's done, you should be ready to assemble. Start by taking a pita or soft wrap bread, then put some vegan chicken strips, tomato, onion, and tzatziki sauce and enjoy!
