Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the tofu into 1/2-inch thick strips or cubes.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Add the tofu to the marinade, toss gently to coat, and let sit for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour for more flavor).

  4. 4

    Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill marinated tofu pieces for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden and slightly crisp.

  5. 5

    Warm the pita breads in a dry skillet or microwave.

  6. 6

    To assemble, spread a generous layer of tzatziki inside each pita pocket.

  7. 7

    Fill each pita with grilled tofu, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and shredded lettuce.

  8. 8

    Drizzle with extra tzatziki and sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
