Middle Eastern Tuna Salad Pitas

---

This isn't any old tuna salad sandwich. Filled with hummus (middle eastern chickpea dip), sesame oil, cumin and cilantro, this is a tuna salad like you've probably never had before. Pack it in pita pockets along with a slices of tomato and lettuce. I am not a cilantro fan, so i leave it out.
