Ree's pork and pepper pitas are the perfect for lunch on the go. Pitas are self-contained and much easier to eat than a sandwich because you don’t have to wrangle two slices of bread and have the filling fall out; everything is wrapped up in a little parcel of deliciousness.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Sprinkle the pork tenderloin with the steak seasoning. Add the pork to the skillet and sear all over, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a sheet pan and roast in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to a board to rest.
  3. Meanwhile, add the peppers and onion to the skillet and season with the salt and pepper. Let cook, undisturbed, for 3 minutes to help char, then toss and continue to cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  4. To build a pita, thinly slice the pork tenderloin. Spread 2 tablespoons hummus inside a pita half. Add 2 tablespoons feta and a quarter of each of the lettuce, peppers, onions and sliced pork. Squeeze over one of the lemon quarters. Repeat to make 3 more halves, and enjoy.
  5. To transport, slide the pita, with the built side up, into a resealable plastic bag. Seal and pack as desired.
