I really tried to get the volume of ingredients into 2 halved pita pockets, but I could not manage it ... so I used 2 pitas & made then into 4 tostadas & that worked perfectly for 2 of us. They were like comfort food for this Tex-Mex lover formerly from Dallas. I loved ea bite & would not chg a thing except to maybe add avocado if I happened to have it on hand. I added a dollop of sour cream to my tostadas after pics were taken, but DH preferred his plain. IMO, add 1 pita pocket, leave all else the same & this recipe easily serves 6 in pita pockets as written. Thx for sharing this tasty low-cal recipe w/us. :-)
