"Created for the Culinary Quest 2016. This was for a pita challenge, using primarily Greek ingredients. I find this also works well with wraps and tortillas. I've said it feeds up to 4, but with a teenage boy it barely fed 3."

ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil
250 g chorizo sausage, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 medium bell peppers, chopped
1 (400 g) can diced tomatoes
¹⁄₄ cup water (or more depending on the thickness of sauce you want)
¹⁄₂ teaspoon dried oregano
1 lemons or 1 lime, juice of
100 g feta cheese
¹⁄₂ - 1 avocado, mashed
2 cups lettuce, diced
¹⁄₂ cup kalamata olive, chopped
8 pita bread

directions

Heat the oil in a large frying pan and add chopped chorizos. Sauté for 5–10 minutes, until sausages pieces are done.
Chop the veggies while the chorizo is cooking.
Remove chorizos and set aside, and drain off all but one tablespoon of oil.
Reheat the oil and add chopped onions, bell peppers, oregano and garlic, and sauté for 5 minutes, until softened.
Add lemon or lime juice, tinned tomatoes and water, and cook for 10 minutes. Here is your chance to get the garnishes ready. These are the feta cheese, sour cream, lettuce, olives and avocado, and any other items you like.
After the 10 minutes, return the cooked chorizos to the pan and let everything heat through for another 2 to 3 minutes.
While the mixture reheats, microwave (or oven heat) the pitas (or alternative bread choices) according to package directions—usually about 1 minute in the microwave for the whole pack.
Set everything out on the table and let people assemble their own serving.

Thanks so much for visiting my page.   I love to cook and travel.   I'm originally from Nebraksa and now live in Australia. Have also been lucky enough to live in Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Burma.   Since the beginning of 2009, hubby and I have visited all seven continents. We've cooked and travelled in Africa and Antarctica, from London across Asia to Sydney, around Australia, around South America, and across India, Europe, Canada and the USA. Most of our travels have been by road and we've covered more than 150,000 kilometres. It's been fun to learn about food and recipes from all over the globe, and most of the souvenirs I bring home are cookbooks.   If you're interested in seeing some of our trip and menu highlights, please visit my travel blog at http://leggypeggy.com or my food blog at http://cookingonpage32.wordpress.com   Thanks also to everyone who has made, reviewed and/or photographed any of my recipes. Most appreciated.
