I'm looking for some low-cal pita filling recipes, usually I mix light mayo with tuna and corn, and i'm getting tired of them! I'm thinking of using turkey, chicken breast cubes, prawns...etc. Any ideas?

I fill my pitas with chicken and mozzarella cheese. Yummy!
i'd try stuff like turkey, tomatoes, lettuce, maybe even scrambled eggs and salsa?
we do ours with scrambled eggs, ham, and cheese or else one wedge of light laughing cow cheese and either ham or turkey, shaved thin.
chopped chicken with lowfat yogurt, cinnamon, chopped apples, and alfalfa sprouts.
chopped egg white, salmon, nonfat cream cheese, and chopped spinach.
tuna mixed with lowfat cottage cheese, scallions, lettuce, diced oranges.
turkey slices with laughing cow light creamy swiss, honey mustard, diced green peppers.
i mix and match a lot--but always some lowfat protein, and something crunchy, and a little something creamy like marzetti's two-lightful honey dijon dressing. it's fun to experiement!

Eggs scrambled with peppers, mushrooms and onion, and just a half an ounce of shredded cheese - my favorite pita stuffing.
My fav is shredded chicken breast with fat free sour cream.
I've pretty much replaced light mayo with f/f sour cream because it's much lower in sodium. 2T=20 calories, 0 fat, 35mg sodium.

another way to add interest to pitas is to use the fillings like you
would a pizza topping. pita pizza! instead of putting everything in
side, stack in on top and pop the thing in the toaster oven... then you
get a toasty warm pita pizza :-)
A few slices of avocado, some chicken and salsa
