Zippy Dijon dressing pulls together the satisfying flavors in this Tex-Mex treat. My husband, Eric, loves it! We like to top these sandwiches with a bit of shredded cheddar cheese. -Renee Flott, Emporia, Kansas

I'm not a big fan of beans, but I really enjoyed these pitas. The filling was flavorful and the pitas were soft and fluffy.

These pitas were a great way to use up some leftover vegetables. I added some chopped spinach and mushrooms to the filling, and it turned out great.

Overall, I thought these bean and veggie pitas were pretty good. I would definitely make them again, but I would make a few changes to the recipe.

The pitas were a little too soft for my taste. I think I'll try baking them for a few minutes longer next time.

The filling was a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

The pitas were a little dry. I think I'll try brushing them with olive oil next time.

These pitas were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.
