pita chicken

Wow, it's been a long time since anyone posted on this blog! I've been meaning to post some recipes for my sisters, so I figured I should just post them here instead of duplicating things all over the place. I've tried a few other recipes on this blog - I LOVE the summer squash pasta that Tiana posted back in April. I've made it 2 or 3 times this summer.

This is a really yummy dinner that we had last night - I got the recipe from allrecipes.com here.

2 chicken breasts cut into strips
1 tbl olive oil
1/4 tsp each: garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper
1/4 cup salsa
pita bread
tomato sliced
avocado sliced
sour cream

Heat the olive oil, and cook the chicken strips. Just before it's done, sprinkle with the spices and add the salsa until it's all heated through and the liquid from the salsa cooks out a bit.

Put chicken/salsa in the pita, top with tomato and avocado slices, and sour cream. Eat.

You can of course add any other tex-mex toppings you like, like olives or lettuce or something. We had it with just tomato and avocado, and it certainly didn't seem lacking to us.

I didn't measure the spices - just sprinkled them over the chicken. Go super light on the cayenne unless you like things spicy. I like the kick, but my kids don't so they didn't eat much. I didn't measure the salsa either - just put it in until it was a balance that I liked.
