Ingredients
  

4 small whole wheat pita breads

1 ripe avocado

1 cup shredded romaine lettuce

1 medium tomato, diced

1/2 cup fresh corn (cooked or canned)

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños, crumbled feta cheese

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ranch Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, ranch seasoning mix, fresh lime juice, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy, then set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

    Warm the Pita: If you prefer warm pita, lightly heat the whole wheat pita breads in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side. Alternatively, place them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds just until they are warm and easy to handle.

      Mash the Avocado: Halve the ripe avocado and carefully remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado to your desired level of creaminess. For extra flavor, mix in a sprinkle of salt and a splash of lime juice.

        Assemble the Tacos: Using a sharp knife, carefully cut each pita in half to create pockets. Take one half and spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado inside.

          Layer the Fillings: On top of the avocado, layer in the shredded romaine lettuce, diced tomato, fresh corn, and finely chopped red onion. To finish, drizzle a spoonful of your homemade ranch sauce over the filling for a creamy burst of flavor.

            Garnish: For a delightful finishing touch, add optional toppings such as chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños for heat, or crumbled feta cheese for a tangy contrast.

              Serve: Enjoy your mini avocado ranch pita tacos immediately, either as a refreshing meal or a healthy snack option.
