- 1 medium field tomato seeded and sliced into thin slices
- pickled pepperoncini peppers tops removed

- Dill pickles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉ (205℃). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean up.
- Use a sharp vegetable peeler to shave 2 packages of extra-firm tofu. It might crumble a bit, it’s no problem!
- Place tofu on baking sheet, not being afraid to really overlap to fit it all.
- In a small bowl, mix the oil, tamari, onion powder, coriander, cumin, turmeric and black pepper. Pour it evenly over the tofu and use a brush to ensure the slices are well coated in the sauce.
- Bake 16-20 minutes until tofu has fully absorbed liquid, and with some crispy edges scattered across pan.
- To assemble, place a generous dollop (⅓ - ½ cup) of tzatziki over centre of pita bread. Layer on ¼ of the tofu (it’s a chunky wrap!!), tomato slices, 2-3 pepperoncini, cilantro...or whichever toppings you prefer!
