Cheesy Spinach Garlic PitasIngredients (use vegan versions): 1-2 vegan pitas, cut in half
spinach
1 cup vegan cheese
1/4 - 1/2 cup vegan mayonaise (depending on how how many of these you are making)
1-2 cloves garlic (powdered is okay, but I just prefer crushed garlics taste)
cayanne pepper to taste
crushed black pepper to taste
salt to taste
olive oil
Optional:
avocado
tobasco sauce
Directions:Combine vegan mayonaise with crushed garlic, salt and cayanne pepper. Turn on stove and brush pan with olive oil. Make sure not to use too much or it will overpower the other flavors.
Slice your vegan cheese into thin slices (I'm a fan of the Vegan Gourmet cheese Alternative Mozzerella or the Vegi-Kaas Mozzarella for this recipe but use your favorite kind.) Spread garlic and cayanne mayonaise on the inside of the pitas (I tend to use quite a bit of this, but its really up to you). Crush black pepper into the mayonaise. Add spinach and thinly sliced vegan cheese and place in your pan. Turn frequently and remove from heat when vegan cheese is melted and bread is turning golden brown.
If you like, add the avocado and/or the tobasco sauce when it comes out of the pan. This (and variations of it) was a staple of mine for awhile, so I know I like it :-)
