2 teaspoons lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

1 pound ground chicken breast

½ cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese (optional)

¼ cup red onion, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ English cucumber sliced crosswise

1 avocado, ripe, seeded, peeled and sliced

1 cup grape tomatoes, halved

¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions
  1. Prepare the tzatziki by combining all ingredients. Mix well and set aside.

  4. Cut a strip off of each pita to create a pocket. Place one burger into each pita pocket. Top each with cucumber, red onion, avocado, grape tomatoes.
  5. Drizzle each with tzatziki. Serve.
