Vegan Gyro with Tzatziki Sauce

Having never experimented with Gyros I have researched and learned that vegan gyros can apparently be made with Jackfruit, Seitan or Portabela mushrooms. Because I was making a dinner for someone who doesn't like mushrooms, I went with the Seitan recipe from https://zardyplants.com/recipes/vegan-seitan-gyros/

Was easy to prepare and tasted delicious!

Served with sides of sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce.

Since Delicata squash is in season now we also had a side of air fried squash that was splashed with garlic powder.
