In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.

Prepare the Marinade

Add the seitan to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Marinate the Seitan

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated seitan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the seitan is golden brown and slightly crispy.

Cook the Seitan

Warm the pita bread in a toaster or on a skillet for a couple of minutes until soft and warm.

Prepare the Pita

On each piece of warmed pita, place a generous amount of the cooked seitan. Top with diced cucumber, diced tomato, sliced red onion, and chopped parsley. Drizzle with tahini sauce.
