Instructions

Prep all ingredients: chop red onion, tomatoes and measure out the tzatziki.

Season the chickpeas with salt and pepper, then braise over medium-high heat until well browned, about 6 minutes.

Add red onion, tomatoes to the pan and cook until softened, 3 minutes.

Stir in tzatziki, olive oil, lemon juice and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Meanwhile, prepare the pita bread according to package instructions and set aside.

Combine everything in the pan, reduce heat, and let simmer for 12 minutes so the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt, pepper, or a squeeze of citrus if needed.

Serve hot, over pita bread, garnished with fresh herbs.
