- Optional, but recommended: warm pita in microwave for 15-25 seconds.

Notes
- Original Recipe: This recipe was originally published in 2016 and had directions for slightly caramelizing the onions. It was updated in 2022 with the raw onion version, however, you can easily saute the onions - see next bullet.
- Caramelized Onions: Heat 1 TBSP olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; add red onion slices and let sit without stirring for 3-4 minutes. Stir and continue to cook for an additional 2-4 minutes.
- French Fries: add fries to make it like you'll find typically with Greek street food!
