When I go grocery shopping I like to have a few different recipes or ideas when using an item so that I can cut back on what I buy, save a few bucks, and reduce waste. Here are some of my favorite ideas for pita bread. I prefer to use the whole grain pitas so that I can get a little more fiber and nutrient bang for my buck.
Tuna melt: you can mix some chunk light tuna packed in water with reduced-fat Hellman's mayo and your favorite condiments. Spread some tuna on top, layer with a thick slice of tomato, and some reduced fat provolone. Pop it into an oven under the broiler for a few minutes and you have a tasty tuna melt with a yummy english muffin alternative.
Pita pizza: top a pita with some sauce, reduced fat mozzarella, and your favorite pizza toppings and bake for a few minutes until the cheese is melted. I prefer a veggie pizza with mushrooms, onions, and peppers, or a spinach, chicken, and mushroom pizza.
Stuffed: use your pita and stuff it with your favorite lunch meat, deli salad, or veggies and spread for a tasty non-traditional sandwich.
Pita and hummus: you can also use pitas cut into pieces to dip into your favorite hummus. You can buy it premade or blend chickpeas and olive oil with your favorite seasonings such as garlic or roasted red peppers to make a quick and easy hummus of your own.
