Roast Beef "Pitas"


Pitas. Something I had not enjoyed since going "gluten free." I decided last week that had to change. After thinking for a few minutes about how I can create something as a suitable alternative, I remembered the Udi's pizza crusts that are sold at Earth Fare. Though these are not my favorite choice for actual pizza, they are now a "go to" product for sandwiches! These crusts are a little tough, but if warmed individually in the microwave for 30 seconds max, they become softer and easier to work with. I made my husband and I a great lunch by taking a warmed crust, topping it with a slice of Havarti cheese, rare roast beef slices, a squiggle of horseradish cream, arugula, sea salt and fresh pepper. Cut into two sandwiches, and served with raw baby carrots and fruit, it was a hit! We liked it so much that the next day we made "pitas" with just roast beef and fresh mozzarella...sooooo good!
