Chick'n Pitas with Everything Ranch
Ingredients
- 2 cups soy curls
- 3 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil divided
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper divided
- ½ cup vegan-friendly mayonnaise
- ½ cup unsweetened and unflavored non-dairy milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Everything but the Bagel seasoning
- 4 pitas warmed
- Fresh chopped romaine lettuce for serving
- 1 large tomato thinly sliced, for serving
- 1 small red onion thinly sliced, for serving
- Fresh chopped dill for serving
Instructions
- Soak the soy curls in hot water for 8 to 10 minutes. After the soy curls have soaked, drain and squeeze out the excess water thoroughly through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth. Pour the soy curls in a bowl. Season the soy curls with 1 teaspoon olive oil, poultry seasoning, kosher salt, dried rosemary, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and ½ teaspoon pepper. Toss to combine, ensuring the soy curls are coated thoroughly in the seasonings. Set aside to quickly marinate while you prepare the ranch, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the ranch dressing. Place the mayonnaise, milk, apple cider vinegar, Everything but the Bagel seasoning and remaining ½ teaspoon black pepper in a bowl and whisk together until combined. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary (note that the EBTB seasoning flavor gets stronger the longer the ranch sits). Set aside.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned soy curls and cook, stirring often, until they’re slightly crisped around the edges, 7 to 10 minutes.
- To assemble the pitas, stuff each pita with some chopped lettuce, then a few slices of the tomatoes and onions. Add a generous portion of the seasoned chick’n, drizzle with a couple teaspoons of the Everything but the Bagel ranch, and a sprinkle of dill, and enjoy!
