Рецепт Clean Eating Southwestern Pita Pockets
Pita pockets are a fun meal to eat. And by fun, I mean messy. But the truth is, they’re kinda worth it.
Pitas are great because you can pack them with just about anything and you can pretty much count on the fact that they will be yummy.
I’ve been on kind of a Southwestern kick lately, so I thought I’d see if I could put something southwestern in a pita. It worked out really well, and dinner was very filling that night. Mini Chef didn’t care for it simply because it was messy to eat. He’s pretty picky about stuff like that. But he did like the flavor and so did I. It won’t be the last time I make these. Only next time, I think I’ll roll it into a burrito for Mini Chef.
