They’re crowd-pleasers, with plenty of options for meat eaters, vegetarians, and vegans alike. Stuffed with veggies, fresh herbs, homemade tabbouleh, and homemade tzatziki sauce, this pita sandwich is anything but boring. Add chickpeas for some extra protein, and if you’re short on time, buy your tabbouleh and tzatziki pre-made. Marinated vegetables, black olives, and salty feta cheese are wrapped up in a tortilla for a simple but satisfying lunch.

Swap out the whole wheat tortilla for a sundried tomato or spinach variety for a little more color and flavor. Get all of the flavors and even the texture of egg salad with this vegan recipe.
