Description: Egypt's favorite street food! A pocket pita stuffed with well seasoned ground sirloin/chuck blend, baked until crisp. Served with chile lime tomato soup and a romaine salad with zucchini, carrot in a sumac vinaigrette and an appetizer of crispy chickpeas with dukkah spice 

Contents:

  • 1 bag meat
  • 1 bag pita
  • 1 container soup

  • 1 container dressing

Directions:

  • Heat soup over medium heat in a sauce pan stirring often. The soup is concentrated, add water to taste (about one 1 cup for a 2 person kit and 2 cups for a 4 person kit). Alternatively, soup can be heated in the microwave in stirring in 60 second increments until 165 degrees.
