Steps

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the seitan to the marinade, mixing well to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the marinated seitan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and crispy, stirring occasionally.
4. In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper and red onion. Sauté for another 5 minutes until softened.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, and water until smooth. Add more water if a thinner consistency is desired.
6. Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until soft.
7. To assemble, place the cooked seitan and vegetables in the pita bread. Top with diced tomato, cucumber slices, tahini sauce, and chopped parsley.
