Ingredients
Pita Sandwiches:
- 4 whole wheat pitas
- 2 cups baby spinach or mixed greens
- ½ cup sliced English cucumber
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- ¼ cup Thinly sliced red onion
- Optional: Greek chicken meatballs, gyro meat, cooked chicken breast or shredded rotisserie chicken (get my Greek chicken meatballs recipe)
- ¼ cup crumbled Feta cheese
Tzatziki:
- ½ cup 2% Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup grated or finely chopped English cucumber
- ½ clove garlic, grated or minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chopped, fresh dill or mint (or ¼ teaspoon dried dill or mint)
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- To make the tzatziki, mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl.
- To make the sandwiches, first heat the pita in the microwave to soften them. Cover them with a damp towel and microwave on high for 15-second intervals until warmed. Cut them in half.
- Stuff each pita half with desired vegetables like greens, cucumber, tomato, and onion. If using meat, add the meat as well. Sprinkle with feta cheese and top with some tzatziki.

Notes
- Nutrition information includes the pita, vegetables, cheese, and tzatziki. It does not include any meat.
- Greek chicken meatballs
- baked falafel
- edamame falafel
- naan
- My Greek chicken meatballs are perfect for stuffing into these pita sandwiches. You can also use gyro meat, cooked chicken breast or rotisserie chicken. It's a great way to use up leftover rotisserie chicken.
- You can keep this recipe vegetarian by stuffing the pita with vegetables only or you could add my baked falafel or edamame falafel. You can make this a vegan pita sandwich by leaving out the feta and tzatziki.
- You can spread some hummus in the pita bread to add extra flavor and a boost of plant-based protein.
- I like to soften my pita bread before making the sandwiches. The easiest way to do this is to cover them with a damp paper towel and microwave them on high in 15-second intervals until warmed.
- If you don't have pita, you can substitute naan, flatbread or wraps.
