Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine sliced mushrooms, sliced onions, vegan Worcestershire sauce, shawarma spice blend, and sugar. Cook over medium heat for about 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and caramelized.
  2. In a food processor, blend the drained tofu, garlic, lemon juice, white vinegar, dill, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy, about 1–2 minutes. Fold in the grated cucumber gently.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pita breads and warm them for about 1–2 minutes on each side or until slightly puffed.
  4. Take a warmed pita, spread a portion of the mushroom filling down the center, add toppings, and scoop tzatziki. Fold the pita in half to eat.
  5. Store leftovers in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
