Flavored with my homemade shawarma seasoning, and stuffed in pita pockets with tahini sauce and fresh Mediterranean salad, this vegan shawarma with mushrooms and onions is a quick meal you'll be making on repeat! I used portobello mushrooms, which are "meaty" and intensely savory. You can also use oyster mushrooms or other mushrooms of your choice.
