How to Prepare Marinated Tempeh Gyro Tacos With Cucumber Salsa [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Combine all ingredients for the tempeh marinade. Toss with tempeh slices and let sit for 20-30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, combine all ingredients for the tzatziki sauce in a small bowl, and all ingredients for the cucumber salsa in another small bowl. Set aside.
  3. Heat a splash of olive oil in a large skillet. Add tempeh slices to the skillet so that they all have contact with the skillet's surface. Cook in batches if necessary. Cook tempeh until golden brown and starting to crisp.
  4. To prepare tacos, spread about 1 tablespoon tzatziki sauce over each of the tortillas. Top with tempeh strips, cucumber salsa, and another drizzle of tzatziki. Serve.
