Grilled cheese pita pockets

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 Whole-wheat or plain pita
1 ounce Sliced, reduced-fat cheese (Jarisberg, Monterey Jack, Cheddar or mozzarella)
3 slices Tomato, paper-thin
⅓ cup Alfalfa sprouts
4 slices Dill pickle, paper-thin
3 Bell pepper rings, red, yellow, or green; paper thin; seeds, stems and ribs removed
Vegetable-oil cooking spray

Directions

Cut a thin strip from one side of the pita. Carefully open the pita to make a pocket for the filling.

Place one slice of cheese in the pita pocket. Slide in the tomates; add the alfalfa sprouts and top with the pickle slices and pepper rings. Then add the remaining cheese slice.

Heat a medium (8-10") skillet over medium-high heat until hot enough to evaporate a drop of water upon contact. Spray with a vegetable-oil cooking spray. Add the sandwich; cook, covered, over medium-low; heat, turning once, until browned on both sides, about 10 minutes.
