Pita Chips Ingredients

Method

Dip Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Base

    In a mixing bowl, combine the smoked tuna, cream cheese, and sour cream. Use a fork or electric mixer to blend until smooth.

  2. 2

    Add Flavorings

    Stir in the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Fresh Herbs

    Fold in the chopped fresh chives for added flavor and color.

  4. 4

    Chill the Dip

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Pita Chips Preparation

  1. 5

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 6

    Prepare the Pita Bread

    Cut each pita bread into triangle wedges and place them in a single layer on a baking sheet.

  3. 7

    Season the Chips

    Drizzle the olive oil over the pita wedges. Sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Toss gently to coat each wedge evenly.

  4. 8

    Bake the Chips

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

  5. 9

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven, let them cool slightly, and serve alongside the chilled smoked tuna dip.
