Healthy Dinner Idea-BBQ Pita Burger

For one burger:
3 oz grilled hamburger*
1 tbs. bbq sauce ( i LOVE sweet baby ray's, worth the 35 calories)
lettuce
tomato slices
half pita loaf**

Nutritional Info:
271 calories
6.8 grams fat
25.8 carbs
25.8 protein

*lean ground beef
**75 calories for half whole wheat pita loaf

So delicious! I spray a little canola oil and sprinkled a pinch of garlic salt before filling the pita pocket with the beef and sauce and putting it back  the grill.  (if you don't have a grill use the over or stove top to heat the pita up ) Top the warm pocket with lettuce and tomato for a fresh crunch just like a burger!

Change it up!
-use turkey or chicken (potentially saving some calories)
-make it Mexican inspired, add sliced pepper and a little bit of cheese
