That sounds really delicious! 

Would love to have the recipe....My son loves Teriyaki.

It's his favorite sauce!

@Zhills --sure I can get that for you. It is so easy and has no oils in it altho i suppose you can add sesame oil for more flavor----

1 cup low sodium soy sauce

1 cup water

1 cup brown sugar

1 Tbsp worchestershire sauce

2 tbsp dried onion flakes

2 Tbsp minced garlic

1/2 tsp powder ginger

I whisk it together to dissolve the br sugar and pour it into a large jar. Add to your protein and let marinate for a couple hours. It does last quite awhile in the refer altho, I use it up  in alot of  my meals. Fresh ginger would taste good and add pepper flakes if wanted. Makes alot too. I usually make 1/2 recipe at a time and to thicken it for a sauce --add a cornstarch slurry.  enjoy!!

Do you think you could use a toothpick to thread through the top of the pita while it's on the grill? I'm not sure if it would tear the bread or not.

@LuvSoCal --that may work-----I found that separating the pita was kind of hard as it ripped even tho I was careful. Maybe cutting off just the very top of the pita and not in half, might make it better. Not sure I will make these again except the meat mixture was very tasty. Would make those into meat balls.

@wagirl Yes, I've found that pita bread can be a PITA lol. It can be delicate to work with. I love it and always order extra when I have the Greek salad at my local Greek restaurant.

I revisited an old, delicious recipe---Patty Melts--Sunday for dinner. Cooked up some sweet onions, nice and slow--about 25 min until they were soft and browned, then added mushrooms --we like mushies ----and then added a splash of apple cider vinegar--OH my gosh!! what a lovely taste that added. then used 85/15 ground beef --1 lb--only I patted the whole thing flat into a hot-ish fry pan , seasoned with Montreal steak seasoning and let that baby fry until it was a crusty brown, then flipped it over to the other side. Toasted my bread and added cheese to mine--DD doesn't do cheese. Put it all together with assorted condiments and WOW---was that good!!! the meat was a little greasy--but very flavorful---I usually use 90/10,  but I  put it on some paper towels to drain. Divided the huge meat patty into 1/2s, ate a 1/4 so there is that much left for a nice little melt for lunch. an oldie but a goodie.
