Greek Pita 'Pizza'

This is one of those stupid-easy and crazy-good sort of recipes. The kind of thing that you throw together on some lazy end-of-the-week night and then think... "Oh, man! I'm brilliant! This is amazing!"

I was seriously not looking forward to cooking today. I've been in a tremendous amount of pain with my neck and shoulders since I cracked my eyes open this morning. ...It's the type of pain that is nearly blinding. It creeps up into my eye sockets and even makes my ears hurt! I've been in so much pain, that it's been a challenge to even consider food without getting blatantly nauseous.

So, needless to say... once I got some of the pain (and nausea) behind me, this was the perfect dinner for me tonight.

Simple. Easy. 5 ingredients and 5 minutes to completion! No oven, no heating, no baking or cooking required on this one, folks. Which makes it even better for a hot summer night!

I served my pita 'pizza' with a small side of chopped salad with some greek style salad dressing, which was the perfect compliment to the star of the show.

Even with feeling a bit under the weather, this little pita picked me right up and helped me bully through the rest of my evening like a pro.

I used a roasted red pepper hummus on my 'pizza', but feel free to experiment with other flavors. A traditional or spicy hummus would be great on this!

Looking for more of a spice? Add some diced picked jalapeños or a drizzle of Sriracha.

While this isn't anything like a traditional 'pizza', it's cool, filling, and a de{light}ful way to end the day.
