Ingredients

• 8 falafel
• 0.17 cup tahini

2. While falafel bake, whisk together tahini, water, lemon juice, minced garlic, and paprika in a small bowl to create the tahini sauce.
3. Prepare your vegetables by slicing lettuce, tomato, cucumber, pickles, and red onion.
4. Cut about 1 inch from the top of each pita bread to form a pocket.
