Ingredients
- 1/2 (cup) finely chopped walnuts
- 1/2 (cup) unsalted sunflower seeds
- 1 (cup) canned chickpeas, drained
- 1 diced red onion
- 1 beaten egg
- 1 (tablespoon) chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 (teaspoon) fresh ground black pepper
- 1 (tablespoon) italian seasoning blend
- 2 (tablespoon) olive oil
- 2 (slice) mild Cheddar cheese
- 1 pita bread round
- 1/4 (cup) prepared Ranch dressing
- 2 (leaves) romaine lettuce
- 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
- 1/2 avocado - peeled, pitted and sliced
Directions
- Place walnuts and sunflower seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, mash garbanzo beans with a fork, or chop in a food processor. Stir in the onion, egg, parsley, and toasted nuts. Season with pepper and seasoning blend, and mix well.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Divide the bean mixture into 2 patties, and fry in the hot oil for about 3 minutes on each side, or until well browned and heated through. Place a slice of cheese over each patty, and remove from heat.
- Place the pita round in the same dry skillet the nuts were in, and heat for about 1 minute on each side. Cut the round in half, spread ranch dressing inside of each, and line the pockets with romaine leaves. Place a cheesy patty into each one, and top with sliced tomato and avocado. Serve with tortilla or potato chips.
