  3. Stir in black beans, sumac, cumin, salt, and pepper to taste. Cook for another 5 minutes, making sure everything is well combined and heated through.

Notes

For a twist, feel free to swap out the black beans for chickpeas or lentils!
And if you want a creamier texture, go ahead and add some avocado.
This dish is great for meal prep - just keep the filling and pitas separate until serving.
Enjoy them fresh, as they tend to lose their charm in the fridge.
Happy cooking!
