Notes
If you can’t find pita breads, you can also use flat bread or Indian naan bread.
If you prefer crispy crust, pull each pita bread apart into two thin halves.
For healthy eating, consider using whole wheat pita bread, low-fat cheese and low sodium sauce.
Use a thin layer of sauce to avoid making the pitas soggy.
For a spicy option, sprinkle red pepper flakes on before the cheese.
