Tuna Pineapple Pita Pockets

Submitted by Purdy Good Cook

"These pita pockets are a welcome change from traditional sandwhiches. I never thought that tuna and pineapple would go well together, but it does. They are great for lunch, or even for dinner. This is a great recipe for 1-2 people."

 

• Ready In: 5mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Yields: 4 4
• Serves: 2-4

ingredients

• 170 g canned tuna, 1 tin (drained)
• 14 ounces canned crushed pineapple (drained)
• 1⁄2 cup shredded lettuce
• 2 ounces cheddar cheese (grated, I use low fat)
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (I use light)
• 2 whole wheat pita bread, cut in half

directions

1. Mix tuna, pineapple, lettuce, cheese and mayonnaise together.
2. Fill each half pita pocket with 1/4 of tuna mixture.
