Quick, filling, nutritious and delicious! I experimented with this unique pita recipe in college while trying to find a quick and different meal for dinner. Not only is this meal healthy and easy to make, the presentation is impressive! It's easily adaptable to include your favorite ingredients, too.

Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 cup fresh bean sprouts, rinsed and drained
¼ cup chopped green onion
⅛ cup sliced fresh mushrooms
⅛ cup sliced black olives
⅛ cup sliced carrots
⅛ cup sliced celery
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup cooked black beans, rinsed and drained
4 whole wheat pita breads, cut into quarters
⅛ cup sunflower seeds
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
½ cup sour cream, for topping
¼ cup chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute bean sprouts, onions, mushrooms and olives until tender, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and add the carrots, celery, ginger, salt and pepper. Cook for a few more minutes to blend the flavors. The carrots and celery should remain crisp. Stir the black beans and sunflower seeds into the skillet, and cook just until heated through. Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, prop open each pita using a toothpick, place some of the shredded cheese inside, and heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or until cheese has melted. Set aside.
  • Spoon vegetable mixture into the pita triangles, and remove toothpicks. Garnish with sour cream and chives.

I made these pitas for a party last weekend, and they were a huge success. Everyone loved them. The pitas were so soft and fluffy, and the filling was delicious. I used a combination of ground beef and lamb, and it was perfect. I also added some chop

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover meat. I used some leftover roast beef, and it was delicious. The pitas were so soft and fluffy, and the filling was flavorful. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
