Why These Gyros Are So Good

These gyros are insanely delicious with perfectly spiced chickpeas on pitas with fresh veggies, creamy tzatziki, hummus, and a sprinkle of feta. This recipe is super simple and fast to make — just cook the chickpeas, mix the tzatziki, and assemble the pitas. In less than 30 minutes, you have the perfect vegetarian and Mediterranean dinner! These chickpea gyros are naturally vegetarian with easy subs to make vegan.

Chef’s Tips

Adding hummus to your pita is completely optional, but we highly recommend it to help keep the chickpeas in place (and also because it’s super delicious). You can use a store-bought hummus or make your own really easily. My recipe for hummus without tahini would be perfect here! If vegan, use a vegan greek yogurt (which you can either buy or make yourself) in the tzatziki and either omit the feta or use a vegan replacement.
