Nutrition Tip
When it comes to canned tuna, there are so many options to choose from. Opting for sustainable canned tuna that is fished from healthy stock and well-managed fisheries can help to minimize the harmful impacts on other marine life and the environment. If possible, opt for cans with the terms pole-caught, pole-and-line-caught, troll-caught, FAD-free, free school, or school-caught on the label.
What kind of pita bread should you use?
Pita bread is traditionally baked on a stone surface, but can also be made in the oven, and is a mixture of yeast, water, and flour. Pita bread is known for its unique opening, or pocket, that is formed by steam filling the center of the dough. The exact combination of yeast, water, and flour can alter the texture of pita bread and there are two primary types of pita bread: the flat, thin style, and the thicker, spongy style.
In addition to variations in recipe ratios and cooking methods, pita bread can also be made with white or whole wheat flour. You can use any type of pita bread for this recipe.
Storage + Reheating
If you want to make these tuna pita pockets ahead of time, you can mix the tuna with the dressing and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days. When you are ready to eat, add the veggies, toss, and then stuff your pita pockets.
