Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup plain 2% reduced-fat greek yogurt
3 tbsp chopped fresh mint
2 tsp fresh lime juice
5/8 tsp kosher salt, divided
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cucumber (about 8 oz), peeled, seeded, and shredded
6 (6-inch) whole-wheat pitas, halved
2 (15-oz) cans organic chickpeas ( garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp spanish smoked paprika
1/4 tsp ground red pepper
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
8 cups loosely packed arugula
12 (1/4-inch- thick) tomato slices

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°.
Combine yogurt, mint, lime juice, 1/8 teaspoon salt, garlic, and cucumber in a small bowl.
Wrap pitas in foil; bake at 350° for 10 minutes or until warm.
Place chickpeas in a single layer on paper towels. Cover with additional paper towels; pat dry. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add chickpeas to pan; sauté 10 minutes or until lightly browned and crispy, stirring frequently. Remove chickpeas from pan using a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Combine remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, chickpeas, cumin, paprika, and red pepper in a medium bowl; toss well to coat.
Combine remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, and black pepper in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Add arugula; toss gently to coat. Add chickpea mixture; toss to coat.
Fill each pita half with about 2/3 cup chickpea mixture, 1 tomato slice, and 2 tablespoons sauce. Serve immediately.
