Cuisines of various cultures bring pleasure to home dining. Is it difficult to make an exotic dish? There are many simple and easy items that help you have exotic cuisine at home. The dish that I tried this time was pita wrap, a Mediterranean dish. As a sauce, I had Organic Tahini from Trader Joe's.
Tahini is a paste made from sesame seeds that goes well with many dishes, especially Mediterranean food.

The only ingredient is ground hulled organic sesame seeds. One serving, which is 2 tablespoons (32 g) of tahini, provides 3 g of dietary fiber (10% of the daily value) and contains 19 g of total fat (25% of the daily value).

The separation of the oil is quite apparent on the surface of the jar. The oil must have come from the sesame seeds. I purchased this product on May 10, 2020 and it expires on February 26, 2022.

After having the paste and the oil mixed well, it turned into a creamy smooth paste.

I had tahini with Papa Pita Greek Pita that I got from Vons (around $3).

I prepared fresh ingredients that normally go well with Mediterranean cuisine. I had diced tomatoes, onions, avocado, and iceberg lettuce. The chicken was seasoned with salt and pepper, garlic powder and Trader Joe's Everyday Seasoning.

Trader Joe's Organic Tahini tastes mildly nutty, creamy and savory. If you haven't tried tahini before, it tastes a little like unsalted peanut butter without sweetness. I mixed tahini with some mayonnaise and had it in the chicken pita wrap. It made a healthy meal for a nice sunny day.
