Barbecue falafel pita pockets

So first of all, even though this dish has the word “falafel” in it, don’t expect any of the typical flavors of a traditional falafel. I just don’t want to be a source of crushing disappointment for you, that’s all. You know what is disappointing though? Mysterious running injuries.
