Its very hard not to like Mediterranean cuisine.  Chickpeas, tomatoes, feta, hummus, baba ghanoush, kebabs and tabouleh – oh my!  Aside from the health benefits that I hear from the USDA and other health organizations, Mediterranean flavors are really fantastic:  savory, tart, and sweet, all combined.  Hummus, which I’ve written about before, is great on just about everything.  Toast with hummus works just as well as a heated pita bread.

Since I’d made some hummus on a previous day, I wanted to something awesome with it.  I marinated a bit of chicken in a balsamic base, cooked it quickly over the grill, and added some onions and tomatoes to pita bread and hummus to make a delicious wrap.  If I had lettuce, I’d have added it too for some extra crunch – definitely recommended.  Even without the lettuce, this recipe worked wonderfully.  Just make sure to warm up your pita bread first so it’s nice and soft.  Since I’m impatient, I rushed it a bit, and ended up breaking my pita a bit (as you can see at the bottom of the picture above).
