It’s amazing to me how your taste buds can change... I supposably wasn’t a fan of Mediterranean food... well look here now- the times have most certainly changed! 

Mosssssst certainly :)
And for that I am thankful. 
If I told you I’ve ate this 3 days in a row, would you believe me? Well believe you meeeee I sure have. And If I wouldn’t have finished the ingredients today I would make it again tomorrow too!

So... tell me... have I done a good job convincing you that you should try this?  learn from my mistakes folks, don’t waste time not trying a certain cuisine cause you don’t think you’d like it- give it a real chance friends

Tofu Shawarma:

Ingredients:
1 package Tofu (extra or super firm)
1-2 tbsp avocado oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp turmeric (powder)
1/2 tsp cayenne (optional)
1/2 tsp black pepper 
1 tsp cumin 
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp cinnamon

Directions:
Preheat oven to 450.
Drain water out of tofu and then slice into strips. In a big bowl add all spices together and stir. Add in the lemon juice and oil to the spice mixture and stir until it’s combined. Add in the tofu carefully, so you don’t break the strips. Lightly move the tofu around so that you get the spice mixture all over the strips evenly.


On a parchment paper lined pan, spray a bit of oil and then place each strip on the pan. Bake for 25 minutes turning over halfway through.


Tzatziki Sauce:
​3/4 cup greek yogurt ( vegan or regular)
1/2 English cucumber (grated and strained)
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper (to taste)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1.5 tbsp dried dill

• Stir all ingredients together in a small bowl. And enjoy!

Enjoy my friends! Tag me on instagram @thedailykale, if you try it!
