Method

Toss the seitan with the oil, crushed garlic, oregano, paprika and a pinch of salt.
Fry it in a hot pan for five minutes, turning, until the thin edges go crisp and dark.
Warm the pitta in the pan or a toaster and split it open.
Fill with the shredded lettuce, sliced tomato and onion, the seitan, the tzatziki and a squeeze of lemon.

Worth knowing

Seitan takes a dry rub better than most things because it has no water to give up. It fries like the outside of a kebab, which is the idea.
Tzatziki at 40 g is 40 kcal. The pitta is 150 and the biggest single line, so a second one is not a small decision.
