Here's a quick, colorful, grab-and-go pita lunch that gets rave reviews from all ages, says Brigid King in Macomb, Michigan. "I tweaked this meatless, versatile recipe years ago to lighten it and punch up the taste," she notes. TIP: For Italian flavor, add pizza sauce and chopped pepperonis to the cheese and peppers, suggests Brigid King. A little salmon or some bacon bits mixed in the cream cheese make other tasty options.

I had some trouble getting the pitas to rise. I think I might have used too much yeast.

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

I wasn't sure how I felt about the combination of sweet peppers and pita bread, but I was pleasantly surprised. The flavors worked really well together.

The recipe was easy to follow and the pitas turned out great. I would recommend using a food processor to chop the peppers and onions, it made the process much faster.
