These pita pizzas are my go to for a quick lunch! Not only are they flavorful but they only take about 5 minutes to prep.
You can also substitute garlic naan for a different flavor profile. You can also throw in some chicken or chickpeas with all the other ingredients into a high fiber wrap to take on the go. So many options!
