Divide the mix into four equal parts and shape them into burger patties by hand or with a spoon. Then preheat a pan and add a couple of tablespoons of sunflower oil.
Now temper the heat and pan-fry the burgers in the pan. You can roast the pita bread and cut in half.

A Great Burger Recipe
If you have not eaten falafel then you are really missing out because it is so easy to make yourself.
You do not need much to complement this burger maybe some onion, tomato, or sauce to turn it into a great lunch or dinner dish.
Falafels are usually small golfball-sized. If you make them a little bigger you can easily turn them into a vegan burger.
Just make sure you do not over-process the chickpeas. It will turn into hummus, which is nice but not for pan frying a chickpea burger.
What To Serve With Falafel Burger
- Onion – you can soften some onions in vegetable oil and put these on top of your burger
- Pickle – slices of pickles can lift the falafel burger pita taco to the next level
- Ketchup – what doesn’t taste better with ketchup? So put a big dollop on your falafel burger pita taco
- Mayonnaise – (vegan) mayonnaise do I need to say more
- Tzatziki sauce – easy to make Greek cucumber sauce that you can whip up in a matter of minutes
- Chipotle aioli – if you like it a bit spicy, add some homemade Mexican secret sauce to your burger
