Stuffed Pita Mexican Style (Torta Arabe) image

These are regular menu items in all the respectable taco joints in Mexico. Ingredients are so obvious, nobody needs a write-down recipe with exact quantities. You just reproduce it. Many times I prefer these over regular tacos.

  • Carefully cut open pita bread 2/3 down, but not entirely.

  • Continue filling with rest of ingredients.
  • Finish off with a few drops of lime juiceand a sprinkling of your favorite Mexican chile sauce.
  • Carefully transfer to pancake type of grill and lightly toast or fry golden brown on both sides.
