Pita slices with cucumber is a simple and delicious recipe that has become popular in many regions of Latin America, although under different names. In Mexico, for example, it might be found as "pita toasts with cucumber," while in Argentina and Chile they usually just call it "stuffed pitas." This preparation has its roots in Mediterranean cuisine, where pita bread is a staple food. Originally, pita bread is consumed in countries like Greece, Turkey, and throughout the Middle East, where it is usually stuffed with fresh vegetables, cheeses, and dressings. The combination with cucumber and cream cheese adds a fresh and creamy touch, ideal for appetizers or light snacks.
