Ingredients
  

  • 1 can 15 oz chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 whole wheat pita breads

  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/4 cup vegan tzatziki sauce store-bought or homemade
  • Fresh parsley chopped (optional, for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Season & Cook Chickpeas: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chickpeas, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas are crispy and well-coated in spices.
  2. Assemble Gyros: Warm the pita breads in a pan or oven. Spread a generous layer of vegan tzatziki sauce on each pita. Top with the seasoned chickpeas, cucumber slices, red onion, and cherry tomatoes.
  3. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, then fold the pita to enclose the filling. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious vegan chickpea gyros!
