Stuffed Jalapeno Pita Bites - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (18 count) package mini pita pockets (Cut in half)
    1/4 cup margarine
    1/2 cup finely diced onion
    1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
    8 slices bacon (cooked cooled and crumbled)
    1 small tomatoes, finely chopped
    1/3 cup jalapeno peppers, finely chopped or 1/3 cup use a small 4 1/2 ounce jar of garlic and jalapeno puree
Preparation
    Cook bacon, cool and crumble.
    Cut mini pitas in half with scissors.
    In bowl microwave margarine and onions until soft - about 2 minutes.
    Add cream cheese and blend with mixer until creamy, fold in crumbled bacon, tomato and peppers and stuff into pitas.
    NOTE instead of the jalapeno peppers you may use a small jar (just under 4 1/2 ounces)of garlic and jalapeno puree, which is my favorite way of preparing these. This also makes a terrific dip.
