Jackfruit Gyros
with Quick Pickles & Tzatziki
Jackfruit was made for moments like this. When crisped and tossed with warm spices, it soaks up every bit of flavor and delivers in this Greek-inspired gyro. Tucked into a wrap with juicy tomato, tangy pickled onion, crisp cucumber, and a dollop of our favorite creamy vegan tzatziki, it’s everything you love about a gyro – minus the meat.

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine sliced cucumber, onion, vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper in medium bowl and toss to coat. Set aside.
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add jackfruit and a pinch of salt and cook until browned and crispy in places, 7 to 9 minutes. Add just 1 tsp oregano and just 1 tsp ras el hanout and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. (TIP: Add more ras el hanout if you prefer more spice.)
Place flatbreads directly on oven rack and toast until warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Top with crispy jackfruit, as many quick pickles as you’d like, tomato, and mint. Serve with tzatziki. To eat, fold in half and dig in!
Don’t let flatbreads get too crispy. They should still be pliable enough to fold. For 4-serving meal, double all ingredients. You may need to cook in batches, in larger cooking vessels, or for longer cook times. Follow visual cues in 2-serving recipe.
