TIP1: Use deep baking pan to prevent smoking for there will be some oil splattering involved. First time I made them I used shallow baking pan and my fire alarm went off, yaycks!

TIP2: Pita burger is also very tasty when grilled. Just make sure that the flame is low and not too hot!

About

Not long ago I posted my home baked pita bread recipe. So with pita in the freezer I was set to make my pita burgers. Slightly different approach to a burger but since ground meat is involved I just named it "pita burger". It's easy, quick, crunchy, and delicious :)
