Ingredients

  • Falafel (12 pieces)
  • Pita Bread (6 pieces)
  • Tahini (1/4 cup)
  • Water (1/4 cup)
  • Lemon Juice (2 tablespoons)
  • Garlic (2 cloves)
  • Paprika (1/4 teaspoon)
  • Lettuce (1 head)
  • Tomato (1 medium)
  • Cucumber (1/2 medium)
  • Dill Pickles (1 medium)
  • Red Onion (1/4 medium)
  • Harissa Spice (3 teaspoons)

Instructions

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Arrange the falafel on a baking sheet.
  2. Bake the falafel for 8 to 10 minutes until heated through.
  3. In a bowl, combine tahini, water, lemon juice, minced garlic, and paprika. Whisk until smooth to create the tahini sauce.
  4. Prepare the pita bread by cutting about 1 inch off the top to form a pocket.
  5. Fill each pita with 2 falafel and distribute the lettuce, chopped tomato, sliced cucumber, dill pickles, and diced red onion evenly among them.
  6. Drizzle approximately 1 tablespoon of tahini sauce over the fillings in each pita and add a sprinkle of harissa spice for an extra kick.
