Recipe- Crisp and Delicious Cheesy Pita Pockets

Pita bread or khubz is flatbread made with all purpose flour or with wheat flour.This is the most common staple food in the Arab world. I tried making these filling and easy cheesy pita pockets /triangles with three types of pita bread available ,thin like a chapati,medium and thick like a pizza base. All turn out good ,but personally I like the thicker version best for making these pockets or triangles.
