Ingredients
  

4 whole wheat pitas

1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

1 red onion, sliced into rings

8 oz mushrooms, sliced

3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 cup homemade or store-bought hummus

Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Grill: Begin by preheating your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

    Prepare the Veggies: In a large bowl, toss together the zucchini, bell peppers, onion, and mushrooms. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Mix well until the vegetables are evenly coated.

      Grill the Vegetables: Add the seasoned vegetables to the grill. Grill them for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have nice grill marks. Remove from the heat and set aside.

        Warm the Pitas: While the veggies are grilling, you can warm the pita bread. You can do this on the grill for about 1 minute on each side, or wrap them in foil and place them on the grill for a few minutes.

          Assemble the Pitas: Once the pitas are warm, cut them in half to form pockets. Spread a generous amount of hummus inside each pocket.

            Add the Grilled Veggies: Stuff the pitas with the grilled veggies. You can add as much or as little as you like.

              Garnish and Serve: If desired, sprinkle fresh parsley or cilantro over the top. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
