Ingredients
1 ripe avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and diced
2 whole grain pita breads
1/4 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons crumbled Cotija or Feta cheese
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before handling ingredients.
Carefully cut each pita bread in half to create 4 pocket halves.
Divide the diced avocado, chickpeas, and crumbled cheese evenly among the 4 pita pocket halves, distributing each ingredient carefully into each pocket.
If desired for a warmed pocket, microwave the filled pitas on high for 15 to 20 seconds until just warm.
Season each pita pocket to taste with salt and black pepper before serving.
Comments
This comes together in the stated ten minutes and all ingredients are stocked routinely at Charlotte chains like Harris Teeter, Food Lion, and Walmart, so no special stops required. The cost per serving lands around $2.50–$3.00 driven by the avocado, which is still reasonable for lunch. The real caveat is avocado seasonality and ripeness: in winter you may need to buy ahead and ripen at home, and a mushy or hard avocado will sour the meal. Otherwise it's a solid, no-fuss lunch that doesn't reheat well but works perfectly as a same-day sandwich.
