Greek Flatbread Sandwiches

We used to just call them chicken pitas. But since we've found this flatbread, we prefer it to the pitas. Hence the new name.

We pile them with homemade hummus, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, greek-seasoned chicken, feta cheese and sometimes ranch dressing (some do not like dressing).

Homemade Hummus

1 can garbanzo beans, drain but reserve about 1/4 liquid
2-3 garlic cloves (depends on how much you like garlic, I guess)
about 1/3 c peanut butter
a little water
about 1 tsp salt

Put all this into a food processor and puree. I sometimes add a little water to finish off the hummus to make it smooth. Here's a different recipe for hummus I got in college. It's a little more ethnic style:

2 cups canned garbanzo beans, drained
1/3 cup tahini
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tsp salt
2 cloves garlic, halved
1 T olive oil
1 pinch paprika
1 tsp minced fresh parsley

Place garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, salt, parsley, and garlic into a blend or food processor. Blend until smooth. Transfer mixture to bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the hummus. Sprinkle with paprika.
