How to Make Spicy Avocado Pita South Beach Diet

  1. Mash 1 ripe avocado in a bowl with 1/2 teaspoon chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. Stir until the avocado is smooth and creamy. Add a squeeze of lime juice (about 1/2 tablespoon) for extra flavor.
  3. Warm the pita bread according to package instructions (about 30 seconds in the microwave or briefly in a dry skillet).
  4. Spread half of the avocado mixture inside each pita pocket.
  5. Add a handful of chopped romaine lettuce to each pita.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
