How to make a pita roll with tomatoes and cheese? Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the filling. It is better to use the processed cheese soft in boxes - it is easier to smear it on pita bread. In addition to dill and parsley, you can also add spring onion feathers, cilantro or other greens. Greens can be replaced with leaves of any green salad (like Iceberg, Frillis).

Wash the tomatoes, dry and cut in half. To prevent moisture from tomatoes from soaking all pita bread, it is better to cut out the middle with seeds. Cut the flesh into small cubes. It is better not to cut tomatoes coarsely, as they can tear it when rolling up the roll. For the filling, choose fleshy tomatoes, in which there is more pulp and less juice.

Grate the cheese on a medium or fine grater.

Wash dill and parsley, dry and chop finely.

Spread the pita bread leaf on the working surface and brush it evenly with melted cheese. For piquancy, you can add garlic cloves (1-2 cloves) passed through the press to the melted cheese and mix. And only then smear on the pita.

Conditionally divide pita bread into three identical parts. Sprinkle a third of the pita over the tomato pieces. Sprinkle the second third of pita bread with grated cheese. Sprinkle the last third with the crushed greens. You can sprinkle everything not separately, but mix all the filling in a bowl and sprinkle it evenly with all the pita bread.

Roll the pita bread with a dense roll, starting from the side with the tomatoes, so that all the tomatoes remain in the center of the roll. In this case, tomatoes will not be able to soak all pita bread only if the very middle.

Wrap the resulting roll in cling film or cellophane bag and place in the fridge for 1-2 hours to soak.

Release the chilled roll from the film, cut into portions and serve. If desired, you can bake a roll in a microwave or oven for several minutes. Then the cheese will melt and the roll can be served hot. It will taste like a vegetable shawarma without chicken. Enjoy your meal!
