My Favorites: Pita Pizzas


Corey & I both work full time during the week, and neither of us are very good at eating a real lunch while we're at work. Usually by the time we get home we're both starving. Since we try not to eat out too often, we like to have a few good quick and easy recipes in our arsenal for those nights when we're too hungry to wait for dinner. This is one of our all-time favorites. The possibilities are endless, it takes only minutes to prepare, and is on the table quicker than we could go through a drive-thru. Did I mention that it's delicious? What's not to like!

Pita Pizzas
(ingredients needed per pizza/person)

1 pita
2-3 Tb. sauce
1/4 cup cheese
toppings of your choice

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line baking sheet with foil.
2. Spread sauce evenly on each pita. Top with cheese and choice of toppings.
3. Bake for 5-7 minutes, until edges begin to brown and cheese is melted.

Topping Ideas:

Barbecue chicken: barbecue sauce (I recommend Bullseye), mozzarella, smoked gouda, or cheddar cheese (or a combination), fully cooked diced chicken, thinly sliced onions, cooked and crumbled bacon, and cilantro.

Combo: pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, olives, mushrooms, green peppers, onions.

Alfredo Tomato Ham: alfredo sauce, mozzarella and romano or parmesan cheese, thinly sliced ham, fresh sliced tomatoes, crushed red peppers.

Pesto Chicken: pesto, mozzarella cheese, fully cooked diced chicken, fresh sliced tomatoes.

Hawaiian: pizza or alfredo sauce, mozzarella and cheddar cheese, canadian bacon or thinly sliced ham, pineapple tidbits.
