– 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
– 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions
1-Getting started: Getting started with avocado pita pizza is as simple as turning on your oven, and weβll walk through each step to make it foolproof. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for that perfect crispy finish. Then, dive into preparing the cilantro sauce by combining the ingredients in a food processor or blender.
2-Once the sauce is ready: spread it evenly on the pita bread and top with cheese before baking. After a quick 8 to 10 minutes in the oven, add your avocado slices for that fresh, creamy layer. This method ensures your avocado pita pizza comes out warm, flavorful, and ready to enjoy.
3-Detailed Steps: Hereβs a closer look at the directions: First, combine 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1 large garlic clove (minced), 1 tablespoon chopped green onion, 1 tablespoon minced and seeded jalapeΓ±o pepper, and 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice in a food processor. Pulse until roughly chopped, then slowly add 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4-Next: spread the sauce on 2 pieces of whole wheat pita bread and top with 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese melts. Finally, remove from the oven, add slices from 1 large avocado, sprinkle with salt, and serve warm. The total preparation time is about 20 minutes, with 10 minutes for prep and 10 for cooking.
