PITA POCKET RECIPES: 21 IDEAS YOU HAVEN'T TRIED - GREATIST

Estimated Reading Time 7 mins
  • Roasted Mediterranean cauliflower and potato pitas. Roasted cauliflower and potatoes are filling and delicious enough without assistance.
  • Mini Mediterranean tuna pita wraps. From the oil-packed tuna and the Kalamata olives to the Israeli salad and minty yogurt sauce, everything about these quick sandwiches comes with full-on Mediterranean flavor.
  • Greek salmon pita sandwich. Salmon packed in pouches is a super-convenient way to get in your omega-3 fatty acids without a hefty price tag.
  • Roasted harissa sweet potato and chicken pitas. Harissa powder adds a just-spicy-enough touch to the fiber-rich mix of chickpeas and sweet potatoes inside this pita.
  • Lemony broccoli, chickpea, and avocado pita sandwiches. From the broccoli to the garbanzo beans, there’s no shortage of fiber in these pita pockets.
  • Tempeh + sweet potato stuffed pita with cashew chipotle sauce. Between the meaty tempeh, the hearty sweet potato, and the spicy cashew sauce, there’s so much texture, flavor, and substance in these pita pockets that you’d never notice the absence of animal protein.
  • Eggplant and cabbage pitas. While there’s a good amount of oil in this recipe, it’s the heart-healthy fatty acids in the olive oil that give this pita pocket a nutritional kick in the butt.
  • Spicy chickpea edamame salad pitas. Want to pump up your pita with plant based protein? Stir chickpeas and edamame into Greek yogurt.
  • Baked falafel. We never met a fried falafel we didn’t like (apart from one that insulted our hats) but these baked ones are just as tasty.
  • BBQ tofu pita. Tofu tends to adopt whatever flavors it’s cooked in. And who doesn’t love a BBQ? Those looking for a smoky, meat-free powerhouse of a pita need look no further.

  • Chicken Cucumber Pita Pocket. This protein-packed pita can be made in five minutes. Cook some chicken on Sunday so you can have filling sandwiches all week.
  • Healthy Hot Pocket. Can't stand the thought of eating another frozen Hot Pocket? Make a healthier version yourself with this copycat recipe that's better than the original.
  • Falafel Waffle Pita. You can pretty much "waffle" any food these days, so why not "waffle" falafel? Stuff these irresistible waffles inside your favorite pita pocket and upgrade your sandwich game.
  • Breakfast Pita. Weirdly, I'm not into breakfast burritos but I actually enjoy a breakfast pita on occasion. If you need an extra filling breakfast, pita pockets have you covered.
  • Pita Pizza. Pizza may not be "pocket"-style, but who says you can't eat it that way? Save yourself some time and money and make a pita pizza. Top it with the sauce, cheese, meats, and veggies that you love.
  • Tuna Salad. If you're missing your mom's tuna salad sammies, this tuna pita pocket will heal your homesickness. This tuna salad uses Greek yogurt instead of mayo for a healthier and tangier bite.

  • Classic Turkey. Sick of those boring turkey sandwiches? Upgrade your choice of bread with a pita pocket. It'll make lunchtime in between classes slightly more enjoyable.
  • Roasted Cauliflower. Cauliflower is becoming super trendy because of its spongy texture and versatility. If you're looking for a way to use that big head of cauliflower sitting in your fridge, make a flavorful pita pocket.
  • Taco-Style. Have some leftover meat from Taco Tuesday? Try my latest invention. Heat up a pita and stuff it with the meat and whatever veggies and sauces you like.
