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

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.
