Vegetarian Pita Sandwich
I find that simple, effortless recipes often times taste the best! Just like this pita sandwich recipe that I made one afternoon when I was running really, really, really short on time! and it also happened to be the day when I don’t eat meat. Pretty tough when you crave delicious, satisfying food!
It’s pretty hard to stick to a healthy routine, there are so many temptations out there, from that yummy smelling fast food you just passed by to that piece of cake who seemed to have your name on it or that salted caramel mocha frappuccino at your Starbucks. Plus we’re always so busy, always rushing, never taking the time to really enjoy life. But not when you make yourself a nice pita bread sandwich, filled with healthy, colorful veggie, bursting with flavors and tasting like a little piece of heaven!
These lovely veggie pita pockets are so quick to make, they only take minutes so they could be a great dinner idea for busy people, or even a lunch at the office or on the go. If you’re trying to keep calories under control but your hectic life gets in the way, this pita pockets recipe might be your best buddy!
This pita sandwich recipe is totally customizable, you can use your favorite veggie and cheese, or use skim mozzarella cheese for an even lighter sandwich. And if you don’t have a grill on hand, you could just throw these in the microwave or a few minutes in the stove until the cheese melts.
I skipped the garlic for this recipe as I had a meeting right after lunch but if you’re a big garlic fan, these would taste even more awesome with a little bit of garlic mixed in. The ingredients listed below are for a full medium pita bread, divided in 2 sandwiches; adjust as needed.
