BLT Pita Pockets

BLT Pita Pockets is a pork recipe built around slices turkey bacon, reduced-fat mayonnaise and ripe avocados. Plan on 6 Servings and about 20 minutes.

• Yield 6 Servings
• Ready in 20 minutes
• Prep 10 minutes
• Cook 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 20 slices turkey bacon
• 1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise (I prefer the Hellman’s brand)
• 2 ripe avocados (peeled and coarsely chopped)
• 1/2 teaspoon white wine or red wine vinegar
• Salt and pepper
• 4 vine-ripe tomatoes
• 4 cups green leaf or romaine lettuce
• 6 whole wheat pita pocket breads (about 6-inches across)

Instructions

1. Cook the bacon on a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, setting aside to drain on a paper-towel lined plate.
2. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, avocado and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Slice the tomatoes thinly.
3. Cut pita breads in half and open the pockets. Spoon a dollop of the avocado mixture into the pocket and fill each pita with bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes – dividing all ingredients evenly between the pita breads.
4. Serve immediately.

Give it a minute off the heat, then serve it while it is still hot.
