Pita the Great

Decide what to serve the Russian emperor for lunch? (He's so fussy!) Rumor has it that tuna-packed pita pockets czar his favorite!

 

2 cans (6-½ ounces each) water-packed tuna, drained and flaked
½ cup diced sweet red pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
1 tablespoon each honey, lime juice, and low-fat mayonnaise
½ teaspoon black pepper
4-5 drops hot pepper sauce
¼ teaspoon each ground cumin and salt
1 6-inch pitas, each cut in half
1 cup thinly sliced, unpeeled English cucumber
2 cups alfalfa sprouts (unpacked)

 

Combine first 10 ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix well. Open pita pockets and line each with ¼ of the cucumber slices and ¼ of the alfalfa sprouts. Fill each pocket with ¼ of the tuna mixture.

 

Makes 4 stuffed pita pockets.
