Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 lb lean ground beef
1 tbsp water
2 tsp taco seasoning mix, divided
2 whole wheat pita bread
2 tbsp reduced-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tbsp nonfat sour cream
2 tbsp salsa
1 cup lettuce
1 tomato, diced
1/4 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°F.
In a medium skillet, brown ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain off excess fat. Add water and 1 tsp taco seasoning to the beef and simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Cut each pita into 8 wedges and place on baking sheet. Bake for about 7 minutes or until lightly browned.
While the beef is cooling, combine the remaining taco seasoning, cream cheese, sour cream and salsa in a small bowl. Mix well. Divide and spread this mixture evenly on 2 small plates.
Spoon a portion of the beef over the sour cream mixture, and top each with half the lettuce, tomato and cheddar cheese.
Place 8 baked pita wedges on each plate. Serve and enjoy!
