Making pitas, wraps, tacos and burritos is both delicious, easy and perfect when you just want to mix a lot of different ingredients and eat them in one bite! It’s a great and easy way to serve food for people with different food preferences and allergies, make a lunch or dinner feel cozy and welcoming by letting everyone prepare their own pitas, but also allows you to use up ingredients you have at home. These pitas are made with slightly spicy roasted cauliflower florets, which makes them very tasty and delicious but still light and fresh, warm fried bell pepper, fresh lettuce, crunchy red onion topped with a lovely tsatsiki and salty feta cheese. These pitas are both vegetarian and gluten free, but can easily be made vegan as well. You can also make them with chicken, halloumi or tofu.
A few tips:
- You can make the cauliflower and sweet potato fries in the oven or in an air fryer.
- I fried my bell pepper in a pan, but it can also be made in the oven or air fryer.
- The baking time for the cauliflower and sweet potato fries will vary depending on how large the florets are and how thick fries you make. It will also depend on if you prepare them in the oven or air fryer. But over all it takes 15-20 minutes.
- Check on and stir the cauliflower and sweet potato fries once or twice during the baking time.
- The amount of spices for the cauliflower can be adjusted according to how spicy you like your food.
- Make sure to squeeze out as much excess water as possible from the cucumber to make sure the tsatsiki doesn’t turn out too wet.
- I would not recommend you to assembly the pitas in advance to avoid the bread from getting wet from the tsatsiki.
- You can serve the fries on the side, but I also love to stuff the pitas with a few fries.
- This dish can also be made with chicken, halloumi or tofu.
