Tips:

Use lean ground beef. Ground turkey or chicken can also be used, but they will result in a less flavorful meatball.
Season the meatballs well. A combination of garlic, onion, parsley, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper is a good starting point, but feel free to adjust the seasonings to your liking.
Cook the meatballs thoroughly. They should be cooked until they are no longer pink in the center and have reached an internal temperature of 165°F.
Use fresh pita bread. Stale pita bread will be difficult to wrap and will tear easily.
Warm the pita bread before serving. This will make it more pliable and easier to wrap.
Fill the pita bread with your favorite toppings. In addition to the meatballs, you can add cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumber, olives, feta cheese, or any other desired toppings.
Drizzle the pita bread with tzatziki sauce or another sauce of your choice. This will add flavor and moisture to the sandwich.

Conclusion:

Meatball pita sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. They can be made with a variety of ingredients, so you can customize them to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create a meatball pita sandwich that is sure to please everyone at your table.
