Servings 4
Ingredients
- 12 falafel balls link in the notes
- 4 pita bread
Toppings
- 2 tomatoes slices
- 1 cucumber slices
- 2 cups romaine lettuce chopped
- ¼ onion slices
- ¼ cup fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, or mint) chopped
- tahini sauce
- tzatziki yogurt sauce link in the notes
- hummus optional
Instructions
- Start with the pita bread. If your pita bread has a pocket, you can cut it in half and open the pocket to stuff it. Or, you can fold the entire pita in half (without cutting it), to make a sturdier bed for the fillings.Depending on your preference, you can warm up the pita in a toaster oven just so it's warm, not toasted!
- Spread hummus on one side of the pita.
- Then, add the veggies: layer on the romaine lettuce, cucumber slices, tomato slices, and onion (fresh or pickled). Add the falafel on top. You can keep the falafel whole or break them in half.
- Finally, drizzle on tahini sauce and a generous amount of tzatziki sauce.
- Sprinkle with freshly chopped herbs and serve/eat immediately. Enjoy!
