Similar to a Spanish empañada, this empaña“pita” uses pita bread for the shell

2 (6½-inch) whole-wheat pitas
1 C Tangy Salsa (see recipe on page 51)

For filling:
2 C canned low-sodium black beans, rinsed
2 C frozen broccoli, corn, and pepper vegetable mix, thawed (Leftover Friendly)
2 C grilled boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced (about 4 small breasts)
½ C shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 Tbsp fresh cilantro, rinsed, dried, and chopped (or substitute 1 tsp dried coriander)
2 Tbsp scallions (green onions), rinsed and chopped (or substitute red onions)
