Ingredients
•
3 (8 ounce) packages tempeh, cut into 2-inch strips
•
2 (12 fluid ounce) bottles Buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank's® RedHot)
•
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
•
1 cup crumbled blue cheese, or more to taste
•
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
•
1 large green bell pepper, diced
•
2 stalks celery, diced, or more to taste
•
1/4 red onion, diced
•
1 (5 3/10 ounce) container Greek yogurt, or as needed

18 pita pockets, or more to taste
Directions
1
Place tempeh in a large bowl and cover with Buffalo sauce. Set aside to marinate, 10 to 20 minutes.
2
Remove tempeh from Buffalo sauce, reserving sauce. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook tempeh in a single layer, in batches, until heated through and lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Pour some Buffalo sauce back over tempeh to coat.
3
Combine blue cheese, cilantro, green bell pepper, celery, and onion in a large bowl. Mix in enough Greek yogurt until topping just holds together.
4
Divide tempeh pieces among pita pockets; top with a spoonful of the topping. Top with remaining Buffalo sauce.
