Whole Wheat Pita and Hummus Wrap
This is a simple and delicious wrap that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. The whole wheat pita bread is a good source of fiber and the hummus provides protein and healthy fats. The shredded rotisserie chicken, cucumber, tomato, red onion, and parsley add flavor and texture. The olive oil and salt and pepper add a finishing touch. This wrap is a great way to use up leftover rotisserie chicken and it is also a good option for a vegetarian or vegan meal if you omit the chicken.
The history of the pita wrap is a long and winding one. The pita bread itself is thought to have originated in the Middle East thousands of years ago. The first wraps were likely filled with simple ingredients like cheese, vegetables, and meat. Over time, the wrap spread to other parts of the world, including Greece, Turkey, and North Africa. In the early 20th century, the wrap was introduced to the United States by Greek immigrants. Today, the wrap is a popular street food and restaurant dish all over the world.
