Vegan Dill Pickle Roasted Chickpea Gyros

Happy Easter Everyone!! As you all know it is not technically not my Easter as I am Greek and we celebrate on the 1st of May this year! We did Celebrate Greek Independence Day yesterday though, which is awesome!

So I thought I would infuse your weekend with something a bit closer to home for me.  A Gyro.. but done completely different to traditional (sorry mom).  I was inspired to make this a few months back by the lovely Kay, from @kaycerrara!  This mama of two is currently on a flight down to Mexico for some much needed relaxation and chill time.  She is such a lovely soul, an amazing mom but above all a really good friend.  She has stuck by my side through some pretty tough times these past few months, and for that I am forever grateful! You rock mama! Seriously.

These little Gyros are so easy to put together, and I promise you that much easier to enjoy!

Packed with colourful greens, vitamins and nourishment they’re sure to keep you fuelled, balanced and filled with good energy!

I have to go prepare a really pretty photo of my Cacao Almond “Milk” that I just made (watch on FoodByMaria snapchat now).  Was inspired by the beautiful and talented Erin Ireland (@erinireland) from itstodiefor.ca! Ill post most about that soon though!  Happy day everyone, the sun is shinning real bright here in YYC, and I have a good idea why.

PS I put that this recipe yields 4 but that it entirely up to you and how many pitas you choose to fill with all this lovely goodness!
