Ingredients

• 1/4 cup onion
• 1/4 cup bell pepper
• 1/4 cup mushrooms
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 2 whole wheat pitas, 6-inch
• 3 tablespoons pizza sauce
• 1/2 cup frozen vegetarian crumbles
• 2 tablespoons water
• 3/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
2. Chop the onion, bell pepper and mushrooms.
3. In a small nonstick skillet heat the vegetarian crumbles with 2 tablespoons water and the Italian seasoning blend until hot and most of the water is evaporated.
4. Brush the bottom side or each pita with olive oil, then spread 1-1/2 tablespoons of pizza sauce on each pita.
5. Distribute the vegetables and vegetarian crumble evenly over both pitas.
6. Top each pita pizza with 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese. Bake for 6-8 minutes until cheese is melted.

Helpful hints

• Check labels on pitas and pizza sauce and select the lowest sodium brands.
• Frozen vegetarian crumbles are a soy product that can be used as a replacement for ground beef. If desired you can substitute lean ground beef or turkey.
• For a thin crust pizza open the pita and split into 2 round pieces. Carbohydrate is reduced to 22 grams.
