Directions: 20 minutes
Cook time: 3 minutes
Servings: 6
Allergens: Milk, Wheat and triticale,
Plan ahead Vegetarian

Ingredients

  • 270 ml (½ can) red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 125 ml (½ cup) butternut squash, grated
  • 125 ml (½ cup) corn kernels
  • 60 ml (¼ cup) plain yogurt
  • 90 ml (6 tbsp.) mild salsa
  • 15 ml (1 tbsp.) fresh dill
  • Pepper
  • 12 whole wheat mini-pitas
  • 175 ml (¾ cup) grated cheese

Directions

  1. In a bowl, mash beans with a fork.
  2. Add corn, grated squash, yogurt, salsa, dill, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. On a parchment paper–lined baking sheet, cut a thin slice off the top of the mini-pitas so you can stuff them.
  4. Carefully stuff the mini-pitas with the bean mix. Don’t fill them too full: you’ll need to leave a bit of space for the cheese. If you have leftover filling, stuff a few extra mini-pitas.
  5. Divide the grated cheese among the mini-pitas, filling each to the top.
  6. Broil briefly, until cheese is fully melted.

Tips

Earlier in the season, you can substitute grated zucchini for the butternut squash.
