Zippy Dijon dressing pulls together the satisfying flavors in this Tex-Mex treat. My husband, Eric, loves it! We like to top these sandwiches with a bit of shredded cheddar cheese. -Renee Flott, Emporia, Kansas

These pitas were a bit too dry for my taste, but I think that's just because I didn't use enough oil.

These pitas were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just because I used a lot of chili powder.
