Vegetarian Pita with Morning Star Chik'n Strips

There is a place called the Pita Pit where you can walk in and order a pita just how you want it.  The Pita Pit has many sauces to choose from such as Caesar,  BBQ , Tzatziki , Ranch , honey mustard, ancho chipotle , mayo and many more.  They have a large assortment of veggies and cheeses (and meats for the meat eaters) as well.  With so many options, at first the menu may seem a bit overwhelming! I had my first Pita Pit experience in Portland, Oregon and highly recommend it.  Check out their website to find a location near you.   
I believe that if preparing healthy food can be quick, easy and customizable, then maybe people will find it easier to start eating better.  
This is how I make my pitas at home:
You will need:
Pitas
Shredded Lettuce
Banana Peppers
Diced Tomato
Red Onion
Honey Mustard or Ranch
Salt and Pepper
Cook the Chik'n strips for 2 to 3 minutes until the strips start to brown.  Cut a pita in half and stuff the pocket with veggies.  Add the Morning Star Chik'n Strips, sauce, salt and pepper.
Get creative and try adding pineapple and teriyaki sauce to your pita.  What other flavorful combinations can you come up with?
