Method

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion, garlic, and ginger, sautéing until fragrant and the onion is translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 3 minutes until heated through.
Pour in the soy sauce and sprinkle black pepper over the beef mixture. Stir well, allowing the sauce to coat the ingredients evenly.
Warm the pita breads in a clean skillet for about 1 minute on each side or until fluffy.
Take the warmed pita breads and cut them in half. Use a spoon to gently open the pockets.
Fill each pita half with the beef and pea mixture, followed by slices of avocado.
Serve with a simple side salad of mixed greens, sprinkling toasted sesame seeds over both the stuffed pitas and the salad for added flavor.
