Grilled Pork in Pita
from Campbell's Kitchen

Prep/Cook Time: 25 min.

3/4 cup Pace(R) Picante Sauce
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 tsp. lime juice
1/4 tsp. garlic powder OR 2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb. boneless pork chops, 3/4" thick
6 pita breads (6"), warmed
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 medium green onion, sliced (about 2 tbsp.)

Directions:
1. Mix 3 tablespoons picante sauce, yogurt and lime juice. Refrigerate
until ready to serve. Mix the remaining picante sauce and garlic powder
in a small bowl.
2. Lightly oil the grill rack and heat the grill to medium-high. Grill
the pork chops for 15 minutes or until chops are cooked through but
slightly pink in center, turning and brushing them often with the
picante sauce mixture while they’re grilling. Discard remaining picante
sauce mixture.
3. Slice the pork into thin strips. Spoon the pork down the center of
the pita. Top with the yogurt mixture, lettuce and green onion. Fold
pita around filling.
Serves 6.
Time-Saving Tip: To warm the pita breads, wrap them in a plain paper
towel. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute or until warm.

Kitchen Clip:
Simple veggies like carrot and celery sticks, radishes and sliced
cucumber pair perfectly with these pita sandwiches. Top vanilla ice
cream with fresh strawberries for dessert.
