Fajita Pitas
From Quick Cooking

I was late coming home one evening and forgot to pick up tortillas for the fajitas we planned for dinner. So we used pita bread that I had in the freezer instead. The warm chicken-filled pockets, garnished with a homemade sauce and other tasty toppings, are often requested when we're hungry for something in a hurry. -Diana Jones, Springtown, Texas


List of Ingredients




6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
1 large onion, sliced
1 large green pepper, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Mexican cheese blend or cheddar cheese
8 pita breads (6 inches), halved

SAUCE:
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 medium tomato, finely chopped
1/2 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Guacamole and sour cream, optional



Recipe



Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat for 16-20 minutes or until juices run clear, turning occasionally. Cut into strips. In a skillet, saute onion and green pepper in oil. Add chicken and cheese. Stuff into pita halves; place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 325° for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Meanwhile, for sauce, combine the onion, tomato, jalapeno, cilantro and oil in a bowl; mix well. Serve sauce, guacamole and sour cream if desired with pitas. Yield: 8 servings. Editor's Note: When cutting or seeding hot peppers, use rubber or plastic gloves to protect your hands. Avoid touching your face.
