I changed:

Nothing.  I followed the recipe exactly.

Comments:

I bought large pita loaves as they were on sale when I shopped, and that may have been not the best move.  Once I had the pitas stuffed, they basically exploded in our hands.  I’d recommend the small loaves for this recipe.  I thought that the sandwich was missing something because it was on the bland side.  Suggestions to improve the sandwich included salsa and some sort of dressing or vinaigrette.  Now having said all of this, the sandwich was sufficiently different that I would make it again, but with the improvements noted.  And maybe some roast beef slices.  Or some German Salami….
