Stir-Fry Veggie Pita Melt

I sometimes get in a 'spur-of-the-moment' type of mood when it comes to food. I see something sitting around (in this case it was a pita) and it just spins into a quick dish. Today I saw that pita and immediately thought: veggie pita. This idea took me back to the days when I used to work at a fast food restaurant where one of the menu items was a veggie pita melt. I considered doing a take on that, but I didn't have all the ingredients needed and if I'm going to duplicate, then it must be spot on. It was one of my favorite things and I just can't do a 'fake' version.

Anyways, that thought sparked another similar pita idea. I did a quick veggie stir-fry with some teriyaki sauce and then I was in pita melt heaven.

I have a ton of fresh veggies in my fridge right now and this was a nice way to use some of them. The great thing about a meal like this is that you can use whatever you have. I went with a few thin slices of zucchini, about 1/4 of a red pepper sliced, a few pieces of broccoli, some sliced onion, and a few asparagus spears.

What veggies would you use?
