Ingredients

    1 clove Garlic
    1 lime yields Lime Juice
    1 tbsp Olive Oil
    1.5 cup, chopped or diced Broccoli, fresh
    1 cup slices Carrots, cooked
    1 fruit without skin and seeds Avocados, Florida
    12 oz Pork Shoulder (pork butt, picnic roast)
    4 pita, large (6-1/2" dia) Bread, pita, whole-wheat
    2 cup, shredded Romaine Lettuce (salad)

Directions

Combine minced garlic, zest of ½ lime, juice of ½ lime, a pinch of salt, and a few cracks of pepper in a medium mixing bowl and whisk together. Add the olive oil and whisk to combine. Add the broccoli and carrots and toss to coat.
Combine the remaining lime juice and lime zest with the avocado in a small mixing bowl. Season liberally with salt and pepper, then use a fork to mash the avocado.
Reheat the pork. In the microwave: Put the pork in a medium, microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 2 minutes, until the pork is heated through. On the stovetop: Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the pork and cook, stirring often, just until the pork is heated through, about 2 minutes.
Lay the pitas out on four plates or on any flat surface. Spread equal amounts of smashed avocado on each pita. Divide the vegetable mixture, hot pork, and sliced romaine evenly among the pitas. Wrap and serve immediately.
