1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup low-fat plain yogurt
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 small garlic clove, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon water

Prepare grill for cooking. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill and on lid.
Slip skins from chickpeas with your fingers, then purée chickpeas with yogurt, cilantro, garlic, lemon juice, water, and salt in a food processor until smooth.
When fire is hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 1 to 2 seconds), grill pitas on lightly oiled grill rack, uncovered, turning once, until golden, about 2 minutes total.
