turned out great
First time with veggie burgers and I loved this. I used Boca originals and made extra topping. It was easy and tasty.

Nice Change
This is a good recipe when looking for something different. I always seem to have issues when stuffing pitas...there just isn't enough room for my fillings. So a fork and knife come in handy with this.

Delicious
This was very easy and very tasty! I calculated Calorie intake on my own however and it ended up to be around 320/serving. We used Veggie Patch Garlic Portabella Burgers and they were delicious. My first experience with veggie burgers! Will definately make again and might try to add a few different veggies.

Was not a big fan of the veggie burger, but after trying this recipe I am sold. Absolutely delicious and everyone should try it.

The Veggie Pita were great. I added a little soy cheese (veggie cheese) inside the pita for extra flavor. They went over big!
