***pita bread with turkey or chicken filet***

Rub the pita with some water and put in toaster for 4 to 6 min.

Pre-heat the grill or grillpan. Slice filet to small layers of  0.5 cm thick and grill until cooked. (goes really fast)
Meantime pita could be finished already and perhaps even cooled down. If not cooled down, use an oven-mitt or cloth to handle the hot pita bread. slice it halfway and add the filet.

This is a basic recipe where you can experience a lot with seasoning or dressings (I recommend the dressing since chicken and turkey can be dry)

Thyme and yogurt-based dressing goes great with the meat. Be sure to keep the dressing seperate (in a little plastic bag or container) or else the bread will have absorbed it when it's lunchtime.

With my hubby any type of stew or chili in a thermos is a winner.
Just made this for him and my kids this past week, Home made pizza and Lentil tacos salad kits.

Just used Jamie's pizza dough recipe (it made 24 minis) and made them small enough to fit a couple into a lunch box. Packaged up a home made sauce in one container, and some toppings in another. Put together, heat or eat cold yummy either way.

For Lentil taco Kit     
    1 cup finely chopped onion
    1 garlic clove, minced
    1 teaspoon olive oil
    1 cup dried lentils, rinsed
    1 tablespoon chili powder
    2 teaspoons ground cumin
    2-1/2 cups broth
In a large skillet, saute onion and garlic in oil until tender. Add the lentils, chili powder, cumin; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the lentils are tender.
  Uncover; cook for 6-8 minutes or until mixture is thickened. Mash lentils slightly. Stir in some salsa.

I use a lunchbox sized container, put lentils in the bottom and top with lettuce, tomato, crushed taco shells, cheese, sour cream. Yummy and cheap because of the lentils.
