PEPPERED PORK PITAS

The combination of tender pork and sweet red peppers in these sandwiches will appeal to the whole family. Sometimes I also add caramelized onions. The sandwiches are especially good with garlic mayo. Have fun experimenting with your own variations. -Katherine White, Clemmons, North Carolina

FAJITA PITAS

I was late coming home one evening and forgot to pick up tortillas for the fajitas we planned for dinner. So we used pita bread that I had in the freezer instead. The warm chicken-filled pockets, garnished with a homemade sauce and other tasty toppings, are often requested when we're hungry for something in a hurry. -Diana Jones, Springtown, Texas

Healthy Sweet Potato Dip with Spiced Pita Chips image

Steps:

Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack inside the baking sheet.
Prick each of the sweet potatoes 5 times with a fork and place on the rack, keeping space in between to allow the heat to circulate. Bake the sweet potatoes until a paring knife can easily go through without resistance, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Keep the oven heated to 400 degrees F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment. Dividing evenly, brush both sides of each pita half with the olive oil using a pastry brush, and season the inner side of the pitas with the smoked paprika and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cut each seasoned pita into 6 wedges, then arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until lightly golden and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
Once the sweet potatoes are cool, scoop the flesh (about 1 1/2 cups total) into a food processor and add the yogurt, brown sugar, lemon juice, garlic powder, cumin, 2 teaspoons salt and several grinds of black pepper. Process until combined, scraping down the side of the processor bowl to make sure yogurt is fully incorporated. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and gently fold in the chives. Serve at room temperature along with spiced pita chips.

Ingredients

2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 1/4 pounds total)
3 whole-wheat pitas, split
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

If present, remove and discard mushroom stem. If desired, remove mushroom gills. In a small bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Gently brush half of the oil mixture over mushroom and sweet pepper.
Place mushroom and pepper on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill for 10 to 12 minutes or until the vegetables are lightly charred and tender, turning frequently.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the remaining oil mixture and the tomato; toss gently to coat. Cut grilled mushroom and pepper into bite-size strips. Add mushroom and pepper strips to tomato mixture; toss gently to combine.
Open pita halves to create pockets. Line pita pockets with spinach and basil. Fill pita pockets with grilled vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with cheese. Serve immediately.
