With people growing ever more health conscious these days, there has been a movement away from the traditional sandwich and towards the wrap. Touting less carbs and calories than its bread cousin, the wrap is a great alternative to help you watch your waistline while still getting a few carbs to satisfy your craving. Here's make a pita wrap.
Instructions
1. Purchase a package of pitas. The trick to finding quality pitas to make a wrap recipe is finding the ones that are still soft and pliable. Check the "eat by" date. If it's too close, put it back for something fresher.
2. Slice the pita in half so that you are left with 2 circular pieces. You are essentially going to use half of the bread.
3. Fill the pita with your desired ingredients. The trick here is to lay the ingredients on one side of the pita, not in the middle like a normal sandwich. Also, be careful not to overfill the pita as it will make "wrapping it" impossible.
4. Roll the pita over on itself until you have created your wrap. A toothpick may be helpful to hold it in place. You have just made a pita wrap, now experiment with several recipes.
