They're easy to transport, easy to make, inspire creativity, and are fun to eat... I'm talking about Wraps.
This wrap integrates a North African ingredient with a tasty hummus (or you may substitute BBQ'd tofu) filling.

In a medium bowl, gently combine couscous, almonds, raisins, tofu, lettuce and onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, cumin and lemon peel. Season with salt and pepper. Mix 1/4 cup dressing into couscous mixture.
To assemble wraps, lay bread split side up on work surface. Spread each with 2 tablespoons hummus. Spoon approximately 1/2 cup couscous mixture down center of each pita round. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon dressing. Fold up bottom and then sides to wrap.
