black bean pitas with avacado salsa

Ingredients:

Avocado Salsa

2 large avocados, pitted and diced

1 1/2 to 2 cups tomatoes, diced

4 green onions, chopped

2 tablespoons lime juice

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped (or more! We used 4 tablespoons)

1/4 teaspoon salt

Combine all the above ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside.

Black Bean Pitas

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1 16 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup sour cream

1-2 tablespoons chopped canned green chilis

1 cup chopped lettuce

Pitas, wraps, or tortillas

Directions:

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until clear. Stir in garlic and cumin. Add beans and salt. Heat thoroughly. Lightly mash the bean mixture, cover and set aside.

Combine 1/4 cup sour cream with a couple tablespoons of green chilis

To make the pitas, spread the sour cream mixture over the pita/wrap/tortilla, then add the bean mixture on top of the mayo, and top with salsa and lettuce.

NOTES:

We always have these with homemade tortillas - yum!

I typically use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic. Garlic is often a bit too strong for me and I never go through an entire thing of garlic.

I go easy on the onion, as it is also a bit to strong for me at times.

We've had this without the lettuce and it's still fab.
