This is my own creation, invented one day at lunch time when I had limited time and ingredients, writes Ruth Lee, of Troy, Ontario. To add a fresh, crisp taste, add chopped cilantro to these pockets. Complete your meal by serving these with Chunky Tomato Guacamole.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed
2 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
2 tablespoons chopped sweet red pepper
2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 pita bread (6 inches), halved
3/4 cup torn romaine
1 plum tomato, seeded and chopped
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the first 10 ingredients. Just before serving, fill pita bread halves with romaine, bean mixture and tomato. Yield: 2 servings.
