Recipe Tag - Pita Pizza

Julie tagged me to share a recipe.
I'm not one to cook much more than pasta or go full out with huge pans of lasagna, both of which don't really come from a recipe.
This is one that has been on my radar to try out however.

From Self.com.

I'm sure any preferred toppings would work on the pita bread crust so get creative with these personal pizzas! Let me know when you try it and I'll do the same.

I tag Wendy, Kristina, Megan, Bethea and Julianna.

I don't cook! Once in a while I will bake. I'll see if I can find the recipe I used to make cupcakes for Thanksgiving.
