I was on a mini-pizza kick and had already served up Mexican and Italian variations, so I opted for a Mediterranean version and came up with these. —Jenny Dubinsky, Inwood, West Virginia

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces lean ground beef (90% lean)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary or 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
2 whole wheat pita breads (6 inches), cut in half horizontally
1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup fresh baby spinach, thinly sliced
12 Greek pitted olives, thinly sliced
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet; cook the beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink, 5-6 minutes; drain. Stir in tomato sauce and rosemary; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until thickened, 6-9 minutes.
Place pita halves, cut side up, on a baking sheet. Top with meat mixture, tomato, spinach and olives. Sprinkle with cheeses. Bake at 400° until cheeses are melted, 4-6 minutes.

I can't believe no one else has tried this! It's a healthy contest winner, and worthy of the honor. It was easy to make and it got thumbs up from everyone and I have two picky children. The only change I will make is to use black olives next time, as my kids prefer them. I served this with "easy Caesar salad", and will definitely add this to my list of keepers.
