pita surprise
(1 rating)
I am taking part in a Pita Challenge for CQ3 - Greece and this is my Greek inspired challenge entry. You may use homemade or store bought pita for this recipe. I made pita yesterday, so that I could use it for this challenge. I hope that you will enjoy this tasty, light, yet filling sandwich. Note: this sandwich would feed my husband and self, but I could see a hungry person easily eating both halves.
