Ingredients
- 20 lices turkey bacon
- ½ cup reduced-fat mayonnaise I prefer the Hellman’s brand
- 2 ripe avocados peeled and coarsely chopped
- ½ 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
- Cook the bacon on a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, setting aside to drain on a paper-towel lined plate.
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, avocado and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Slice the tomatoes thinly.
- 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.
- Serve immediately.

Notes
- Mayo Mixture: the mayo/avocado mixture becomes quite soupy after sitting for longer than 5-10 minutes, so I suggest mixing that up right before serving so it stays thick and chunky.
- Tomatoes + Bacon: also, if your pita pockets are on the small side, you may need to cut the tomatoes and bacon in half to fit everything inside.
