Hummus and veg sandwiches

Alright, this is so simple it barely qualifies as a recipe -- but it's damn delicious, and a quick, balanced meal.

Tonight I used pitas, but tortillas or lavash work just well if you want a wrap.  You can also use hearty bread.

If you're making your own hummus specifically for sandwiches, make it thicker than usual.  You'll appreciate the texture.

Protip:  To maximize aesthetic pleasure, uniformly slice or dice your vegetables.

Ingredients (for 1-2 people)

2 pitas
1/2 cup hummus
2 small tomatoes, diced or sliced
1 small red onion, diced or sliced
1 small cucumber, diced or sliced
1 big handful of bean sprouts
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Heat the pitas in a skillet or over an open flame.  Cut in half and split open, being careful of steam.

Spread two tablespoons of hummus in each pita.  Top with the vegetables, and salt and pepper to taste.

Nom!
