EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Decrease the beef to 1/2 pound and fill each pita with more peppers, onions or mushrooms to fit more vegetables into your meal plan. Look for lower-sodium deli beef to reduce the sodium per serving, too.

Try 1/2 cup Old El Paso® fat-free refried beans and a small apple to round out the meal at 3 Carbohydrate Choices.

Sprinkle the pitas with chopped fresh cilantro.

These were very good to be so simple, light, & healthy. I've been making them at work on my lunch break and my co-workers have asked for the recipe.

Easy and quick to fix for a meal or snack, can add so many things to make it even better. Great with avocado salad and red beans and rice. I feed 4 teenagers, they loved the pitas said they could eat the pitas for lunch and not feel to full to go back work.
