Ingredients

4 slices bacon, halved
1 avocado, peeled and pitted
juice of 1 lemon
8 mini whole-wheat pita pockets
4 ounce grated cheddar or your favorite cheese

Directions

In a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Blot with paper towels. Meanwhile, slice the avocado and toss the pieces with some lemon juice to prevent browning.
Stuff the mini pita pockets with the cheese, avocado, and cooked bacon. Toast the stuffed pita pockets for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey.
