Pitas are very popular in the Middle East and many Mediterranean countries. Why? Pockets of pita bread are best choices for sandwiches, as they are so portable and easy to stuff and eat! We decided to stuff pitas with tuna salad – this is a win-win option that both children and adults like. One such pita is enough to satisfy hunger for a long time.
