4. In the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the onion and pepper and cook until softened and charred, 5–7 minutes.
5. Assemble the bowls with lettuce and pita on the bottom of two bowls. Divide the chickpea bites, onions and peppers between them, then top with tzatziki.
