Ingredients
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded Colby Jack cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
1 large egg white
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
2 (6-inch) pitas, each cut in half crosswise
4 thin red onion slices
Your choice of cucumber slices, tomato slices, avocado or guacamole, and salad greens.
Methods/steps
To prepare patties, place chickpeas in a medium bowl and partially mash with a fork. Add cheese and next 4 ingredients (through egg white); stir until well combined. Shape chickpea mixture into 4 (1/2-inch-thick) oval patties.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until patties are browned and thoroughly heated.

Place 1 patty in each pita half. Stuff in the vegetables or guacamole until the pita is filled.  Enjoy!
