And it's no secret that you can cook pita rolls with a huge variety of fillings.
We will tell you several recipes for the most delicious rolls, and you are sure to find the one that suits your taste. These appetizers are sure to please your guests and delight loved ones.
The main component of this appetizer is Armenian thin lavash. It is sold in stores in the bread section and is almost always readily available. If desired, it is not difficult to bake it yourself. But, if there is no time for this, then a good fresh pita bread from the store is perfect.
Lavash rolls with red fish (salmon) and cream cheese
To prepare such a roll, we need:
- Armenian thin lavash
- slightly salted red fish (salmon, trout. chum salmon) - 200 grams,
- soft cream cheese (not processed, look for soft cheeses in jars like Almette, Cremette, Violetta, Philadelphia, Mascarpone) - 180-200 grams,
- lemon juice - 1-2 teaspoons, sprinkle the fish.
- greens to taste
To make pita bread rolls with salmon and cream cheese, cut lightly salted salmon into thin slices. The thinner the pieces, the easier it will be to wrap the roll and it will look neater.
Spread the cream cheese over the pita bread in a thin, even layer. Then, lay out the fish slices, but not close, but at small intervals. It’s good to alternate the taste of cheese and fish in layers if you put them in a checkerboard pattern.
Lightly drizzle lemon juice over the salmon to bring out the flavor. Cooking spray is perfect for this, which will help you spread the lemon juice in a thin, even layer.
After that, you can sprinkle pita bread with cheese and fish with a thin layer of finely chopped greens. Dill or green onions are great. But I do not recommend putting too much greens, as they can clog the delicate taste of fish and cheese. It is better to decorate the rolls with greens on top, when serving.
Roll the pita bread into a very dense sausage, wrap in cling film and put in the refrigerator for at least half an hour. Lavash will soak during this time and become softer.
Remove the roll from the refrigerator right before serving on the festive table. Once you've unrolled it, cut into 2-3cm thick slices straight across if you want smaller portions, or diagonally which will make the slices longer and larger.
Arrange nicely on a plate and garnish with herbs or cherry tomatoes.

For this roll, it will be useful to prepare the filling in advance, namely, mix it in the form of a salad, this will allow the ingredients to better stick together with the sauce and prevent the roll from falling apart later.
Take crab sticks and grate them on a coarse grater. You can also cut with a knife into small straws. Avoid large thick pieces, they will make the roll bumpy and ugly, and it will be more difficult to wrap it.
If you use hard processed cheese in briquettes, then grate it. If soft, then mix it with crab sticks, but at the same time reduce the amount of mayonnaise.
Finely chop the greens. Mix crab sticks, cheese, herbs and mayonnaise in a separate bowl until smooth.
Spread the pita bread on a clean, dry surface. Spread the resulting filling on it in an even layer. Roll tightly, being careful not to leave air bubbles. Wrap the finished roll in cling film and put it in the refrigerator to soak. This should take at least half an hour, then the pita bread will not be too dry and the snack will turn out tender.
