veggie burger pitas

The vegetarian friendly version of a hamburger! We have to head to bed early tonight, so this was a quick, easy fix. Very tasty!

Ingredients: 
4 frozen veggie burgers (I used MorningStar brand)
1 medium green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
Cooking spray
1/4 teaspoon of seasoned salt
2 pita breads (6 in) cut in half to form pockets
4 leaves of lettuce

Topping Ingredients:
2 tablespoons fat-free mayonnaise 
2 tablespoons fat-free sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped cucumber
1 teaspoon dried dill weed

Preheat oven to 450. Spray a 15x10 pan with cooking spray. Place burgers on one side, bell peppers on the other. Spray vegetables with cooking spray for about 3 seconds and sprinkle with seasoned salt. Bake for 10 minutes. Flip burgers and veggies. Bake for an additional 7 minutes, until burgers are heated thoroughly and veggies are tender. In a small bowl, mix all ingredients for topping. Spread topping on insides of pita pockets. Fill each pocket with lettuce, burger, and veggies. Voila! A healthy alternative to the greasy burger!
