greek tacos?

so i had some feta cheese sitting in the back of my fridge, and i decided it was time to use it up.  my initial thought was to get some lamb and play around with that.  but then i realized how expensive lamb was.  so i decided to play with something else.  i got some ground pork and ground chicken (on sale!) and decided to make some stuffed pitas.

unfortunately, the pita bread i got turned out not to be the pocketed variety.  so it turned into tacos.  and given the feta cheese and spinach (not to mention the pita bread), it seemed to be more of a greek version.  which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

this took me maybe 30 minutes total...and it only took that long because i didn't realize at first that i turned on the wrong stove burner.  silly me.  this probably amounts to four "tacos."

ingredients:
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 lb ground pork
- garlic (~3 cloves)
- crumbled feta cheese
- baby spinach
- grape tomatoes
- assorted spices (ground hot pepper, celery seed, basil, sage, rosemary, paprika)

preparation:
mix the ground meat into a large pan, and add the garlic (chopped up).  brown over medium-high heat (with the various herbs and spices) until the meat is cooked.  drain the grease.

add the meat, cheese, spinach, and chopped grape tomatoes to a pita.  enjoy.

results:
the bread wasn't doing what i wanted.  first, it wasn't a pocket pita...something that can be dealt with.  but second, the pita fell apart when i tried to eat it like a taco.  so i ended up using a fork to eat it like a salad.  that said, it all mixed together nicely.  except i really could have used a crunchy element.

i don't necessarily think i used traditional greek flavors, and the meat itself wasn't well-seasoned (i tried a couple pieces alone just to check), but it did work with the saltiness of the feta.  i suspect if i made some sort of sauce, things would've come together even better.  the long and the short is a worthwhile dinner...but my "greek" cooking obviously needs work.
