Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

In a bowl, mix together the tuna, mayonnaise, onion, celery, salt and pepper. Place a piece of cheese in each pita, 2 scoops of the tuna mixture and a quarter of the avocado. Brush a 1/2 teaspoon olive oil over each on the outside of each pita and lay onto a baking sheet. Bake for 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Add sprouts and tomato. Serve immediately.
