The Ultimate Falafel Pita Sandwich

Gather the ingredients.

Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle to medium-high heat. Coat with 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat a pita bread round for 2 minutes on each side. The pita may begin to brown a little. Repeat with the remaining pita rounds, making sure to cut the top part to reveal the pocket after heating.

Stuff each pita round with 3 falafel balls and a spoonful each of diced tomatoes and cucumber . Top each with sliced onion , chopped parsley, the optional pickles , and a generous drizzle of tahini sauce .
