Falafel and Halloumi Gyros with Tahini Dressing is a delicious and healthy Mediterranean dish that is perfect for lunch or dinner. This dish is a combination of crispy falafel, grilled halloumi cheese, fresh vegetables, and a creamy tahini dressing, all wrapped in a warm pita bread.

To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 2 falafel balls
- 2 slices of halloumi cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/4 cup sliced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sliced cucumbers
- 1/4 cup sliced red onions
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 pita bread

To start, preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the halloumi cheese slices for 1-2 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and slightly crispy. Set aside.
Next, heat a small amount of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the falafel balls and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are crispy and golden brown. Set aside.
To make the tahini dressing, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Add water as needed to thin out the dressing to your desired consistency.
To assemble the gyros, warm the pita bread in the microwave or on the grill for a few seconds. Spread a generous amount of the tahini dressing on the pita bread. Add the shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions. Top with the grilled halloumi cheese and falafel balls. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and mint.
Fold the pita bread in half and enjoy your delicious Falafel and Halloumi Gyros with Tahini Dressing!
This dish is a perfect combination of crispy and creamy textures, with a savory and slightly tangy flavor from the tahini dressing. It is a great vegetarian option that is packed with protein and fiber.
