Pita wraps make great party and picnic foods. Learn to make these authentic Greek wraps in a series of photos that walks you through the process.
Tip: If you're trying to capture that great taste in a pita wrap you remember from a trip to Greece or a great Greek restaurant, it's the spice - either powdered sumac (a Mediterranean and Middle Eastern spice) or lots of sweet paprika that provides the final authentic touch.
Pita wraps are delicious with souvlaki (grilled kebabs), burgers, roasted chicken, beef, pork, and lamb, and - of course - your own homemade gyro.
What you need:
- Pita bread
- Olive oil
- Your choice of meat
- Powdered sumac or sweet paprika

- Freshly ground black pepper
- Onion, thinly sliced
- Tomato, thinly sliced, slices cut in half
