VEGETARIAN PITA

Here's a simple vegetarian meal, especially for kids this Summer, a fun meal, easy to make, and is vegetarian, we'll use some shredded cheddar cheese for this one.


INGREDIENTS


4-6 Pita pockets, warmed on a flat pan, lightly oiled


Vegetable oil for saute
1 clove garlic minced
8oz. mushrooms sliced
1 lb. off ground tofu
3 cups of diced tomatoes
1 can of garbanzo beans drained
1 package cheddar


1 large can tomato sauce unsalted
1/2 cup of sour cream
3/4 cup of Parmesan 
1 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. onion powder
salt and pepper to taste


1. Heat up a large nonstick pan with sufficient vegetable oil for saute, heat up garlic for a few seconds, add in the mushrooms, saute until soft, and remove.
2. Add a little more oil if needed, saute the tofu until cooked through, then remove.
3. Cook the diced tomatoes and garbanzo beans until heated through, add in the rest of the ingredients one by one, then return the mushrooms and tofu to the pan and heat through.
4. Stuff the pita bread with filling, and some cheese. 


There should be some left over for more pitas later.


Njoy the vegetarian eating.


Pita is originated from the Middle East, the main ingredients are flour and water. Armenia, Balkans, Greece, Turkey in origin.


Commercial pita pockets are sold with a slit or pocket for you to fill, some actually does not. If you find one that does not, simply put filling in the center and fold like a soft taco,it works just as well.
