Thursday's Side Dish: Pocket Pita

Hand held wraps – not just sandwichesTake something old and make it new. That’s the idea behind wrapping up leftovers in tortillas or pita bread. Forget sliced bread, which is boring and filled with carbohydrates. Add lettuce, bean sprouts, tomatoes, and sliced onions to make a loaded wrap that rivals anything prepared at a fast food merchant or deli counter. We suggest doing something nontraditional like adding fresh cilantro, basil, or regular parsley. It’s yummy. Also, don’t forget the shredded cheeses. Pictured is a pita wrap of leftover pork stew (dressed with lettuce, onions..etc.) and chicken kelaguen between tortillas.
