Pita is a round flat bread of Middle Eastern origin. Sometimes called pocket bread, it can be opened to form a pocket for filling. The spicy filling of avocados, jalapenos, lemon juice, shredded carrots, and olives for this meatless sandwich can be made-ahead and spooned into pita rounds just before serving.

2 tablespoons chopped jalapeno pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt

1/4 cup chopped red sweet pepper
4 pita rounds or bread slices
Lettuce leaves
Tomato slices
Directions
1. Stir together the avocados, jalapeno pepper, lemon juice, garlic salt, carrot, chives, and red sweet pepper in a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap; chill for up to 2 hours.
2. Fill four pitas or top four slices of sandwich bread with lettuce and tomato and avocado mixture. Makes 4 servings.
