Tunisian pizza, also known as Brik, is a popular street food in Tunisia. It is a thin pastry filled with a mixture of eggs, tuna, parsley, and spices. The pastry is then folded into a triangle shape and deep-fried until crispy. It is often served with a squeeze of lemon juice and a side of harissa sauce for added flavor.
