Pita Pizza!

This is one of my favorite things in the world.
You can make it low fat, you can make it fattening, you can put what ever you want on it.

For low fat:
Whole wheat pitas,
tomato sauce
herbs
low fat meats
low fat cheese
lots of veggies


For those who dont care about fat:
White pitas
pre bottle pizza sauce
mozza and cheddar cheese
pepperoni
ham
pineapple
assorted veggies


Pre heat oven to 350 degrees
put one to two tbsp of pizza sauce or tomato sauce,
next put 1/2 cup to 1 cup of shredded cheese
place desired toppings on top of cheese (I find the cheese stays on better and the veggies cook better)

Place in oven for 10-15 min
I also broil it for 1-2 min to get the cheese a little crispy and the meat really well cooked!

Cut into 4's, let cool and ENJOY!!!
