Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, water, goat cheese, lemon juice, salt, and red pepper flakes. Puree until smooth, about 5 minutes. With the processor running, pour in the olive oil and process until completely smooth and velvety. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon a tablespoon (no more) of the bean puree into the toasted pitas. Add slices of avocado and cucumber, or other vegetables of your choice, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Wrap the finished pitas in parchment or meat-wrapping paper and place in a plastic container to prevent the filling from getting crushed. Pack them in a lunchbox and give them to your kids to take to school.
Advice: Transfer the remaining bean puree to an airtight container. Use it as a dip for vegetables, pita chips, or as a spread on your kids' favorite school sandwiches.
