One of my most popular recipes is back—with a twist

Hi foodie,

I’m so excited to share this recipe with you! I don’t know how many of you have been following me since way back in 2018, but originally, I published this Arayes recipe then. And now… it’s finally getting the full glow-up it deserves!

This updated version comes with a brand-new detailed video (including how to make homemade pita bread from scratch!), and also fresh photos, new tips and tricks, substitution ideas, and fun filling variations.

A few years ago, this was one of my most popular recipes, everyone was making it. But now? It barely gets any traffic. 😂 Funny how things change sometimes, right?

But honestly, this recipe is still one of my absolute favorites.

New Video: Arayes

Want to see exactly how it’s done? I highly recommend watching the new video—it's packed with helpful visuals, tips, and even a quick guide to homemade pita!

Arayes – Pita Stuffed With Meat

What’s Arayes?
Think of Arayes as the Lebanese answer to quesadillas—crispy pita bread stuffed with juicy, spiced meat, then grilled or pan-fried until golden. It’s street food perfection and only takes 15–20 minutes to make! Perfect for dinner, BBQs, or even a late-night snack.
