    The dish defines the new-age Middle East - a mix of the traditional with the modern. The very traditional Pita bread is wrapped with Asian flavors resulting in a 'pocket full of flavor' - Chilli Fish Pita Wraps pack a flavor punch- bold, clean and bright and can be easily made when you've unexpected hungry guests.!

    Pita Wraps are easy to make with the choice of your fillings. You can make it healthy by adding lots of crunchy vegetables and proteins.

    Here I am bringing together the Asian flavors to create a perfect fusion of the Mediterranean wrap.

    When the Officer husband is away on duty, I prefer a quick fix for my lunch and dinner.

    I had some fish fillets lying in the refrigerator and thought of making my version of a Chilli Fish.

    When wrapped with a Pita Bread or rather made pockets out of it, it resulted in a delicious dish that I absolutely fell in love with. I couldn't wait for my husband to get back so that I could share these with him. And Man, was I right!

    He savored the wraps and wanted me to make more.

    Today as I type this post, you should know that we just gobbled three of these. Buuurrp!

    The process of making this dish cannot be any easier. You boil the fish fillets in salted water until just cooked. The onions and tomato are stir-fried with sauces and the shredded fish is added. To assemble the Pita Wrap, you place a lettuce or cabbage leaf, top with the Chilli Fish. You can also finish off with Mayo. And... it's done!

        Hey, I checked my phone. I didn't receive any message. Well, I didn't mention anything about steaming. Cook until the fillets are just done- in water adding a little salt.

      First, such a heartfelt post this is. You should take immense pride in being an army man's wife.

      The recipe sounds delicious. Anything with fish is always a hit for me 🙂

      It's great there is such a community and support.
      Your recipe looks delicious, but unfortunately this is one I will never try - I have a phobia of fish bones so I just can't eat fish, even when I know it has been filleted properly. I miss fish.

      We can never, ever be grateful enough for keeping us safe. The Army wives and families are the unsung bravehearts who should be applauded as well.
      Never tried fish with pita. Must do!
