Ingredients:
• 2 whole wheat pita pockets
• 1 avocado
• 8 slices cucumber
• 8 slices tomato
• 4 slices mozzarella cheese
• 2 whole carrots
• 1 package alfalfa sprouts
• 3 oz turkey bacon crumbles
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1 pinch salt and pepper
Instructions:
Slice pita pockets in half and set aside. Mash together avocado, mayo, salt and pepper. Slice
cheese, cucumber and tomato, then grate carrots. Place the 2 halves of one pita pocket on a plate
and microwave for 30 seconds. Gently open pocket and place two cheese slices in each half.
Spread 1/4 of the avocado mix on the inside bottom of one half and sprinkle with bacon crumbles.
Add 1/4 of grated carrots, 2 cucumber and 2 tomato slices and top with alfalfa sprouts, and repeat
steps for remaining pita pockets. If you cannot find sprouts in the store, you can substitute with
spinach or romaine lettuce. I sometimes grow my own sprouts. Serve immediately. YUM!

Use part-skim mozzarella to
decrease fat and calories. Omit
salt and use only a small amount
of bacon to decrease salt.
