Instructions

  1. Step 1

    If using frozen falafel, bake at 375°F for 12 minutes until heated through and edges crisp.

  2. Step 2

    Warm pita bread in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side until soft and pliable.

  3. Step 3

    Spread 2 tbsp tahini sauce inside each warm pita, then drizzle 1 tbsp chili sauce down the center.

  4. Step 4

    Stuff each pita with 4 falafel pieces, then layer tomato slices, red onion, and pickled vegetables inside.

  5. Step 5

    Serve immediately while pita is still warm, with extra tahini and chili sauce on the side.
