Preparation

Step 1

1 In small bowl, mix mayonnaise, milk and garlic; set aside.

2 In medium bowl, mix pork, oil and pepper. Heat 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pork in skillet 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pork is lightly browned and no longer pink in center. Stir in bell peppers; heat until warm.

3 Heat pita folds as directed on package. Lightly spread one side of each pita fold with garlic mixture. Spoon pork mixture over each; fold up.

Expert Tips:
Thinly sliced chicken can be substituted for the pork in this recipe. Cook 5 to 6 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink in center. Look for flavored and whole wheat pita breads in the bakery section of the supermarket to use instead of the pita folds.
