# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • That dip you love as a meal, but somehow better because its wrapped in warm, toasty pita bread
  • Ready in under 45 minutes but tastes like you spent all day thinking about flavor combinations
  • Perfect for using up leftover chicken or that half bag of spinach thats about to turn
02 -
  • Overstuffing the pitas seems like a good idea until they burst open in the oven
  • The filling tastes better after sitting for 10 minutes so the flavors can mingle
  • Room temperature pitas are easier to work with than cold ones from the fridge
03 -
  • Warm the pitas in the oven for 2 minutes before stuffing to make them more pliable
  • Squeeze the chopped spinach between paper towels if it seems watery
