4 pita bread pockets
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 regular tomato
1 medium cucumber
1 cup hummus
1 cup romaine lettuce thinly sliced

Vegan Garlic Tahini Sauce

1 cup vegan plain yogurt (not vanilla flavored)
2 tablespoons tahini (sesame paste - see notes for substitutes)
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Cups - Metric

Instructions

Prepare the falafel as directed in the recipe.
Prepare veggies washing, peeling, chopping and slicing.
Place a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil. Cook pita for approximately 2 minutes on each side, until lightly browned. Set aside and repeat with remaining pitas, or however many pitas you're making.

For the Vegan Garlic Tahini Sauce

Prepare the vegan garlic tahini sauce by combining the ingredients in a small bowl. Stir to combine.

Pita Sandwich Assembly

To assemble the pita sandwiches, cut toasted pita rounds in half. Stuff the pocket of each pita pocket with greens, hummus, 2–3 falafel, and chopped veggies. Drizzle the falafel sandwich with tahini sauce.
Store individual ingredients separately in the fridge to assemble sandwiches throughout the week. You can freeze cooked falafel patties. Reheat in the microwave or toaster oven until heated through.

Notes

Make the falafel and hummus the day before preparing your sandwiches for fast and easy falafel sandwich assembly!
