Stuffed Pita Mexican Style (Torta Arabe)
These are regular menu items in all the respectable taco joints in Mexico. Ingredients are so obvious, nobody needs a write-down recipe with exact quantities. You just reproduce it. Many times I prefer these over regular tacos.

- Carefully transfer to pancake type of grill and lightly toast or fry golden brown on both sides.
