Tips for the Perfect Nando’s Little Pitta Serve
- For a spicier kick, add more cayenne pepper or a hotter variety of peri-peri sauce.
- If you don’t have peri-peri sauce, you can make your own using red chili peppers, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil.
- To make the pittas extra crispy, toast them briefly in a dry skillet or toaster oven.
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with grilled halloumi cheese or roasted vegetables.
