Prepare the tzatziki: In a bowl, mix the tzatziki (or Greek yogurt), the grated and well-drained cucumber, a pinch of salt, lemon juice, and olive oil. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Refrigerate.
- 2
Reheat the falafels: Preheat a non-stick pan with a drizzle of olive oil. Brown the falafels for 2-3 minutes on each side until crispy. Drain on paper towels.

Prepare the vegetables: Dice the tomato and chop the parsley. In a bowl, mix the tomato, parsley, and crumbled feta. Adjust salt to taste.

Open and fill the pitas: Gently cut the pita breads to create a pocket without cutting through completely. Spread a generous spoonful of tzatziki inside each pita.
- 5
Assemble the pitas: Place 3 falafels in each pita. Add the tomato-feta salad, a drizzle of olive oil, and, if desired, an extra touch of tzatziki for more creaminess.
- 6
Serve: Cut the pitas in half for easier eating and serve immediately. This ensures the falafels stay crispy and the ingredients fresh.
- To save time, use good-quality frozen falafels and reheat them in the oven for an even crispier result.
- Replace feta with fresh goat cheese for a creamier texture and milder taste.
- Add fresh mint leaves or a few avocado slices for an extra note of freshness.
- For a slightly crispy pita, place it in a hot pan for 1-2 minutes after filling it.
