Ingredients

1 medium onion, cut into chunks
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 1/2 (12 ounce) packages meatless ground beef substitute (such as Impossible(TM) Foods)
2 teaspoons ground paprika
1 teaspoon Greek seasoning
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 (6 inch) pita bread rounds, cut in half
1/2 cup shredded lettuce, or to taste
1/4 cup diced tomato, or to taste
2 tablespoons diced onion, or to taste
8 tablespoons tzatziki

Directions

1 Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
2 Combine onion and cilantro in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until minced. Add ground beef substitute, paprika, Greek seasoning, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, salt, and pepper; pulse until well combined. Form mixture into eight 4x2-inch patties.
3 Cook patties on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center, 7 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
4 Fill each pita half with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, diced onion, 1 tablespoon tzatziki, and a cooked patty.
