Tuna & Bean Pita
- 1 cup Canned Albacore Tuna (drained And Shredded)
- 1 cup Cooked Or Canned Cannellini Beans (drained) Or Your Choice White Beans
- 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/2 whole Lemon Squeezed For Juice
- 2 Tablespoons Chopped Fresh Mint
- 2 Tablespoons Chopped Basil
- 2 teaspoons Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 whole 6" Wheat Pitas
- 1 cup Chopped Arugula (or Your Favorite Lettuce)
- 1/4 slices Red/purple Onion (finely Sliced)
- 2 Tablespoons Pecorino Grated Cheese
- Sea Salt And Black Pepper To Taste
- In a mixing bowl add tuna.
- Using two forks, break apart (shred) the tuna.
- Then add cooked beans, oil, lemon juice, mint, basil and vinegar and stir gently with a spatula.
- If you would like your pitas warmed just place them on a paper towel and heat them in the microwave for 20 seconds or so.
- I cut the pita pocket in half then slit open the halves and add a generous portion of tuna mixture into each half.
- Then add chopped arugula, sliced onion, Pecorino cheese, salt and pepper to taste.
- This is an excellent lunch option and one of my favorites!
- Enjoy.
