The other day I needed to throw a lunch together for my husband, but we were out of bread so I used the other quick option on hand: pita bread. It turned out so good, we have a enjoyed it twice since both as a birthday party dinner as well as a quick, filling breakfast. I’m sure this is something that has been made many different ways by other people, but since it is our first original recipe with pita bread I am pretty excited about it. If you have your own delicious way of preparing pita wraps, please comment below so I can try it, too!
Ingredients:
Pita bread
Mayo or spread of your choice
Lettuce leaves (I prefer red leaf)
Tomato slices
Cucumber slices
Sauteéd, sliced Bell pepper
Onions (sliced into wedges-sauté optional)
Sliced Olives
Sliced avocado
Shredded Cheese
Hot sauce (optional)
Vegetarian meat crumbles, tofu or eggs – you choose which filler suits your mood
Directions:
Lightly fry crumbles or tofu (for eggs, scramble as usual). Set aside. Lightly season Bell peppers and onions with onion powder and salt. Place all ingredients starting with mayo and lettuce on one side of pita bread. Fold over and enjoy (this is like holding a soft taco – it is messy)!
