Servings: 4

Ingredients

Red cabbage (1 cup, shredded)
Tomato (1, sliced)
Lettuce (1 cup, shredded)
Pita bread (4 pieces)
Tzatziki sauce (1 cup)
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)
Dried oregano (1 teaspoon)
Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
Red onion (1, thinly sliced)
Yellow bell pepper (1, sliced)
Zucchini (1, sliced)

Instructions

Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium heat.
In a large bowl, toss together the sliced zucchini, yellow bell pepper, and red onion with olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Grill the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
While the vegetables are grilling, warm the pita bread on the grill for about 1 minute on each side until soft and pliable.
Spread a generous layer of tzatziki sauce on the inside of each warm pita bread.
Fill each pita with a mixture of the grilled vegetables, shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, and shredded red cabbage, layering them to your preference.
Fold the pita bread in half to enclose the filling, and serve immediately with extra tzatziki on the side for dipping.
