If you need a simple recipe for a kid's meal, these pita bread sandwiches are the perfect solution. This recipe provides a pita filled with tuna and slices of mushroom, but the truth is that you can fill them with anything you like. They're ideal for “camouflaging” pieces of vegetables that kids may not eat in other dishes like cucumber strips, zucchini and carrots, or diced carrots like in this recipe. To make this meal even more appetizing, serve with a side of greens or fruits. Let your imagination soar and create the filling that most suits you, though this combination of tuna, cheese, mushroom and tomato is hard to beat.
