- ½ batch Greek Meatballs recipe linked
- 1 batch tzatziki sauce recipe linked, makes about 2.5 cups
- 4 loaves Greek-style pita bread
- 1 ½ cups shredded iceberg lettuce
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
For the tomato cucumber salad topping:
- 3 roma tomatoes, diced
- 1 cup diced English cucumber
- ⅓ cup finely chopped Italian parsley
- ¼ cup thinly sliced red onions
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice plus more to taste
- A drizzle of olive oil to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
Make a half batch of the Greek meatballs according to the linked recipe instructions. A half batch makes about 16 meatballs, which is enough to make 4 wraps in total. You can make the meatballs up to 3 days in advance. While the meatballs are cooking, prepare the tzatziki sauce according to the linked recipe instructions. Make the tomato cucumber salad topping: In a bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, cucumber, parsley, onions, lemon juice, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble: Slightly warm up the pita bread in the microwave over or over the stovetop. Then, to each loaf spread some tzatziki, followed by the shredded lettuce, about 4 meatballs, the prepared tomato cucumber salad, crumbled feta cheese. Top with more tzatziki if desired. Fold the bread and wrap with parchment paper or aluminum foil to hold them together.
Serve warm with your favorite sides and more tzatziki. Enjoy!
- Pita bread: Make sure you use Greek pita bread, which is thicker and fluffier than other types of pita.
- Prep ahead: Make the meatballs 3 days in advance, and the tzatziki and tomato salad 1-2 days ahead. Assembling takes just 15 minutes or less.
- Storage: Store leftovers for 1 day in the fridge, although the bread may get a bit soggy. Once assembled, these don’t store very well.
Substitutions and variations:
- Meatballs: Chicken (try my Greek chicken skewers) or falafel.
- Tzatziki: Hummus, baba ganoush, or other spreads.
- Add-ins: Roasted red bell peppers, avocado, kalamata olives, or your favorite toppings.
