Refrigerate for 1-2 hours. # Brush pita breads with 1 tablespoon oil; heat on a lightly greased griddle for 1 minute on each side. Keep warm. Cut meat loaf into very thin slices.

Carefully fold pitas in half. Serve with more sauce. Yield: 8 servings.I find that there is too much oregano in this recipe so I substitute 1 1/2 Tablespoons of it with other spices used in Mediterranean dishes such as rosemary, lemon pepper, etc.Number of Servings: 8
