Lebanon has delicious, tasty food, with many exciting spices and lots of herbs. This dish is very easy to make. You can get the pockets and spice mixture in Asian shops. If you do not find the pockets, you can use taco pockets - not the same, but still good. If you do not find the spice, you can make it yourself.
