Veggie Pita Sandwiches

This is a kind of half pita sandwich/half gyro with lots of veggies and fried spiced garbanzo beans.  Top it with an easily made tzakiki sauce and it becomes more like a gyro.  Anyway you eat it, it makes a quick healthy dinner.

To make the filling:
1 can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
2 T. olive oil
1/2 t. oregano
1 t. paprika
1 clove garlic, minced
1 c. sliced red onion
1 small zucchini, cut into slices
1 red pepper, cut into slices

In a frying pan put all the above ingredients. Saute on medium high heat for 15 minutes.  You want the beans to get toasted and the vegetables soft cooked.

To make the sauce:
1/2 cucumber, peeled and cut into chunks
1 small carton plain yogurt
2 T. lime juice
1/2 t. dill
Put all above ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth.

Put filling into pitas and top with sauce.  You can preheat the pitas by wrapping them in foil and putting into a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes.  If liked you and also put sliced tomatoes, cucumber slices, spinach or lettuce into the pitas.
