Definitely health food. I think it is quite tasty, but if you are not used to such light, vegetarian fare, you may not like it. From a Joyva tahini ad.
Ingredients:
4 pieces whole wheat pita bread (large ones work best)
8 ounces soft tofu (i use extra firm silken and it is perfect)
1 cup fresh spinach leaves, torn into bite-sized pieces
4 plum tomatoes, diced (i use quartered cherry tomatoes)
1 large avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and cut into thin wedges
1 cup mixed sprouts (i like mung bean sprouts, for the crunch)
1 cup low-fat yogurt or 1 cup nonfat plain yogurt
2 tablespoons tahini (i like a little extra)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, crushed
salt, to taste
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, mix all sauce ingredients until blended.
2. Slice an edge from each pita bread, and carefully open pockets.
3. In a medium bowl, combine tofu, tomatoes, and spinach. Add 1/4 cup of sauce and toss gently to mix.
4. Spoon the mixture into each pocket.
5. Divide sprouts and avocado among the sandwiches.
6. Drizzle each with 1 Tbs of tahini sauce. Serve right away.
