To asamble Shawarmas

Notes
- No arugula? Fresh spinach, chard, romaine lettuce, or spring mix are good substitutions.
- No vegan yogurt? Simply skip the sauce or replace the yogurt with Tahini or vegan sour cream.
- Want more plant-based protein? Saute some soy curls along with the mushrooms. That way, you'll get the same fantastic taste of the easy vegan shawarma wrap plus an increased protein.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you sauté the mushrooms, ensure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook them until there's no more liquid left in the skillet (mushrooms tend to sweat a lot, aka release lots of liquid). Properly cooked mushrooms are nice and brown on all sides.
- Don’t overcook the vegetables: Cook the vegetables just until they are tender-crisp. Keep in mind that overcooking will result in mushy and limp vegetables, which will not be as enjoyable to eat.
- Toast the pita bread: Before assembling the shawarma, lightly toast the pita bread to give it a warm and crispy texture. This will also prevent it from getting soggy from the sauce and vegetables.
- RememberFresh veggies: Add some thinly sliced cucumbers, red or green cabbage, chopped avocado, or fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.
- Storage: Sautéed mushrooms should be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator where they will last for 4 to 5 days.
- Store garlic yogurt sauce in a glass jar or airtight container in a fridge for about 5-6 days.
