Directions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook and stir the ground beef until the meat is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease. Transfer ground beef to a bowl; set aside. Cook and stir the cabbage, onion, carrots, and mushroom in the skillet over medium-high heat until the vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the beef, and season with salt and pepper.
Fill each pita half with the hot cabbage mixture. Top with mozzarella cheese.

"I invited a neighbor girlfriend for an early lunch today since she's having some dental work this PM and dinner will be jello for her. I had all these ingredients except the whole wheat pita. I have ..." See moreregular pita's (wish I had purchased the WW ones, now). I made this recipe because of the ease and speed in prep and it just sounded good. This is really, flavorful. Will make an excellent hurry up dinner and would be great with a cup of hot soup during the cooler days ahead. Definitely a keeper and I appreciate you taking the time to share!"
