Greek Meatball Pita Sandwiches

Greek meatball sandwiches are my homage to gyros. They are flavorful and hearty and make a satisfying meal. They are easy and quick to make, especially if you have a stash of Greek meatballs in the freezer.

I slice my meatballs and pile them on top of a whole pita  or stuff them inside of a half pita pocket. Layer on some chopped onion and tomato, tzatziki and fat free feta cheese crumbles and you have a delicious sandwich.

These sandwiches can be served for lunch or dinner. Pair them with a Greek salad, tomato, cucumber and chickpea salad or fruit salad. If you want a more substantial meal, add some lemon roasted potatoes or a Greek style pasta salad. You can also create a Greek bowl by loading up the sandwich contents on lettuce or cauliflower rice.

On game day or gatherings of friends, I put out a Greek meatball sandwich bar with a platter of meatballs, pitas and a variety of toppings and let folks make their own sandwiches. This is a favorite with adults and kids alike.

Please see the recipe card below for exact amounts and directions.

Ingredient Round Up

• Your favorite pita bread – I used Mission carb balance pitas.
• Greek meatballs
• Tomato
• Onion
• Homemade tzatziki or your favorite store brand
• Fat free feta cheese crumbles

Sodium Alert: The sodium content on these sandwiches is 732 g when the sandwich is made with a whole pita and 607 mg when made with half of a pita. The sodium in store bought tzatziki is much higher than in homemade tzatziki. You can lower the sodium content somewhat by cutting the amount of salt in the Greek meatball recipe or by replacing the salt with a salt substitute. The sodium content in the pita breads is naturally high. You can get the sodium content down to 482 mg by eating the sandwich contents on lettuce or cauliflower rice.

Making the Greek Meatball Pita Sandwiches

• Cut several meatballs into slices and either lay on a whole pita bread or stuff into the pocket of a half pita bread.

• Spread chopped onion and tomato over the meatballs.
• Spoon some homemade tzatziki or your favorite store brand of tzatziki over the top of the sandwich contents and then sprinkle with fat free feta crumbles.

• Serve and enjoy. Freeze any left over meatballs to use at a later date.

Serving Ideas

• Greek meatball sandwiches can be served for lunch or dinner.
• These sandwiches pair well with a classic Greek salad, a tomato, cucumber and chickpea salad or a fruit salad.
• For a more substantial meal, you can serve the sandwiches with lemon roasted potatoes, cauliflower rice with lemon and Greek seasonings or Greek style pasta salad.
• Instead of pita, you can makes the sandwiches on a low carb tortilla or a low carb sub roll. If you go the sub route add some fat free mozzarella in addition to the feta and put it under the broiler until the cheese melts.
