Yummy Pita Pockets!

Ok, for those of you who don't live in their kitchens the way that I do, here's a quick and easy lunch or dinner. It packs well for the road, too. :)

12 homegrown cherry tomatoes, cut in half
2 pitas
2 sprigs fresh LIME basil (The lime basil adds a really nice citrus kick without the added acid, and still brings in a nice basil flavor as well.)
2 unseasoned cooked chicken tenders (or 4 falafel balls for vegeterian version)
1/2 cup homemade hummus (I'll post a recipe some other day for those of you who don't make your own. Sabra hummus isn't bad if you're looking for a store-bought version.)
4 1/4 inch slices of fresh cucumber, cut in half

Mince the chicken (or falafel). Mix the hummus, cherry tomatoes, basil and chicken (or falafel) until mixture is evenly coated. Heat pita pockets until the sides seperate easily when cut open. Line each pita with 2 cucumber slices and stuff with the mixture. Chill. Can be served after 1 hour. :)

Yum!
