steps

step 1: prep

It’s not 100% necessary to use my Caesar dressing recipe but it is 100% recommended. Because it is a reader fave that everyone loves. It is also my go-to when I’m going to a party with non-vegans. I’m serious, EVERYONE loves it!

So, grab a food processor or small blender and blend everything until smooth!

step 2: assemble

The only real cooking we’re doing for this recipe is crisping up the chickpeas. I like to do this in a skillet.

Heat some oil, add the chickpeas & dry seasonings and cook for 5-8 minutes or until crispy. Set aside to cool slightly.

And then we’re bringing the filling together. Mix together the romaine, avocado, chickpeas & 3/4 of the dressing. Toss until everything is combined.

step 3: serve

I like to toast my pita before assembling, but just be sure not to over-do it. You don’t want them to be so toasted they can’t be stuffed.

Open each pita, add some of the filling and stuff it in. I like to serve the extra dressing on the side. And you’re ready to go!

These pitas are delicious, comfort food…but, for lunch!
