• 1 pound boneless pork loin chops, cut into thin strips

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 jar (12 ounces) roasted sweet red peppers, drained and julienned

• 4 whole pita breads, warmed

• Garlic mayonnaise and torn leaf lettuce, optional

 

Directions:

In a small bowl, combine pork, oil, pepper and garlic; toss to coat. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork mixture; cook and stir until no longer pink. Stir in red peppers; heat through. Serve on pita breads. Top with mayonnaise and lettuce if desired.

The combination of tender pork and sweet red peppers in these sandwiches will appeal to the whole family. Sometimes I also add caramelized onions. The sandwiches are especially good with garlic mayo. Have fun experimenting with your own variations. —Katherine White, Clemmons, North Carolina
