Wednesday- Tuna Pita Paninis

Chef’s Notes: To keep within my cheap ways, I don’t often allow waste of edible food. Last week when we headed to our reunions, I packed us hummus, pita chips and veggies for dinner. This has to be my new favorite way to use up pitas! If you can keep them from falling apart while stuffing them, once you press them Panini-style, they crisp up nicely and stay together! Yeah for no oozy pitas!

Plan of Attack:

1. Make avocado sauce

2. Assemble

3. Press

Ingredients for 2:

4 pita halves

1 (6.4oz) package White Chunk Tuna packed in water

1 avocado, mashed

¼ C yellow onion, finely chopped

¼ tsp salt

1 roma tomato, thinly sliced

Instructions:

1. Preheat Panini press, grill pan or broiler
2. In a bowl combine the mashed avocado, onion, garlic, garlic powder and salt
3. Heat your pita halves in the microwave 30 seconds to soften
4. Spread avocado mixture in pita half, top with tuna and tomato; repeat until all have been stuffed
5. Panini Press for 3-4 minutes
6. OR grill for 2-3 minutes on each side
7. OR broil on a baking sheet for 2-3 minutes on each side or until browned
8. Enjoy!
