From the Test Kitchen

For incredibly rich, smoky flavor, we're baking pitas with a topping of creamy mayo, scallions, melty gouda, and romesco sauce—a Spanish-style sauce made with almonds, roasted red peppers, tomatoes, and garlic. It's all complete with dollops of cooling tzatziki (or cucumber yogurt).

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the scallions; thinly slice, separating the white bottoms and hollow green tops. Grate the cheese on the large side of a box grater. In a bowl, combine the romesco sauce, mayonnaise, sliced white bottoms of the scallions, grated cheese, and as much of the red pepper flakes as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Season with salt and pepper.
