Whole wheat pitas are a great base for any sandwich. Low in calories, high in whole grains and fiber, and just enough of a fluffy texture reminiscent of bread – I love stuffing pitas with just about anything for a healthy lunch or dinner.

The husband and I both love falafel and mediterranean food, but falafel is sometimes a bit too time intensive to whip up on a busy weeknight.

These chickpea stuffed pita pockets have the essence of falafel without the long prep time it takes to make them!

Pan-frying the chickpeas gives them a perfect crunchy texture, and the homemade lime tzatziki sauce adds a nice cooling element to the dish.

You can enjoy one whole sandwich for under 400 calories, and I promise you will feel full and satisfied at the end of your meal!
