Cook on each side for a total of 6 minutes or until center of the burger is to your liking. Remove 2 inches of bread from 1 side of each of the pita rounds, this forms a pocket. Line each of the pita rounds with the rest of the ingredients on the list above (lettuce, tomato, red onion). Add the burger, then drizzle each with the desired amount of Tahini Sauce. Include a tablespoon of cheese if desired.
