This fusion twist on traditional gyros uses Tex Mex-spiced jackfruit for the filling and creamy cabbage slaw for crunch. Top them with tomatoes and red onions for a nod to the original. This meal has been adapted from the original 2013 version.

Heat a Dutch oven with cooking oil over medium heat. Add garlic and jalapenos (if using) and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Add jackfruit and seasoning mix and saute for 1 to 2 minutes more. Slowly pour in stock and cover with a lid.
Reduce heat to low and simmer gently until jackfruit shreds easily with a fork and flavors have come together, 20 to 25 minutes. Taste and season with some salt and pepper if needed.
Warm pita bread according to package directions.
Assemble gyros by filling pita bread with jackfruit, tomatoes, onions, feta crumbles (if using), and slaw.
Serve gyros with any extra cabbage slaw on the side. Enjoy!
