Middle Eastern Pita Tacos Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Are you starting to think about a super bowl menu? I've got the chips and dip (pita chips and hummus in my house) but i also need something more substantial and chicken wings have never really been a thing in my family. A sandwich of some type is great for filling people up and being easy to eat when people are sitting around watching the tv and not seated at the dining room table. Tacos are a super fun version but why should mexican food have all the taco fun?I decided to make a middle eastern version of tacos using grilled chicken but a ground beef version would be great too. Hmm maybe i'll do that, too Cumin is a common seasoning in many cuisines including mexican and middle eastern and it's one of my favorites. So i grilled the chicken strips with it on my indoor grill pan because i live in new york and we're currently buried under 2 1/2 feet of snow. Cilantro is also common to both the mexican and middle eastern kitchens and i love that as well. If you're not a cilantro lover, though, parsley works just fine. Finally i tucked the aromatic grilled chicken along with all the veggies and a lemony tahini sauce inside a nice warm pita. Middle eastern tacos were born and i suspect will have a very short life span when my guests are here on game day.
