8 Things to Make With a Bag of Pita Bread

A bag of pita is the cheapest way to turn leftovers into a meal: split it, fill it, and dinner costs about $1.50 a serving. These eight run from a 10-minute hummus pocket to a proper mezze spread, and most of them are assembly rather than cooking.

Anychef catalog data: 12 recipes in our library are built on pita, at a median $1.55 a serving and 20 minutes. Eight come in under $2, ten are meatless, and eight are ready in 20 minutes or less. Cheapest first. Costs are per-serving estimates, not measured prices.
