Beef-Corn Pita Pockets

2 POCKETS shown here

PREP 10 MIN COOK 1 MIN SERVES 4

2 ears corn on the cob, husked and kernels removed
1 Tbsp water

Juice of 1 lime
1/4 tsp kosher salt
Pinch black pepper
2 (6-inch) whole wheat pita breads
3/4 lb deli-sliced roast beef

1. To make relish, combine corn and water in 9-inch microwavable pie plate. Cover with paper towel and microwave on High until corn is crisp-tender, 1-2 minutes.

2. Transfer corn with slotted spoon to medium bowl; stir in nectarines, onion, lime juice, salt, and pepper.

3. Cut each pita crosswise in half to form 2 pocktes. Stuff pockets evenly with beef, relish, and lettuce.

Relish Filling
This was easy to do and great to eat! I hadn't had nectarines in a long while and am glad I decided to try this recipe out! Another hit for our house! It's refreshing and simple.

It's to note that I used white Weight Watchers Pita bread (since there were no more whole wheat when I was out shopping) and also used Montreal Roast Beef instead of regular Roast Beef, since again when I was out shopping they didn't have any reg. roast beef left in the deli (yes, believe it or not!).

Also to take into account, is the recipe nutritional value is for 1/2 of the whole pita. The 1 Portion described is 1/2 of the Pita Pocket ~ so if you eat both halves, double your PointsPlus value.

Reminder: 1 Portion is actually 1/2 the Pita
