This was a refreshing change to most wrapped sandwiches I've tried. I made a few minor tweaks. To the simmering chicken I doubled the amount of garlic powder and onion powder and added 1/2 teaspoon of fajita seasoning. To the pitas I added monterey jack / colby cheese and diced onions to the pitas. I made these changes because previous reviewers commented on the chicken not being flavorful enough. My recipe was scaled to 4 servings. Even though my pita did fall apart (I always try to pack too much in), I really enjoyed these. My favorite part was the avocado. Delicious! In the future I plan on doubling the amount of salsa used to make it a little more saucey.

Great recipe. The pita bread fell apart, though, next time I'll try it with flour tortillas instead.

Yum! This makes a quick, tasty weeknight dinner. I added some Monterey Jack cheese as suggested by another reviewer and I also threw in some sliced black olives.

This was a tasty healthy meal. My kids didn't care for the spice as much as the adults, but we loved it. I made it very close to the recipe, but I added a bit more seasoning because we like lots of flavor,I substituted guacamole in place of the avacado because it was on hand, and we added some shredded cheese. Very quick and tasty.

This is a quick Saturday afternoon lunch. Make sure to drain the chicken good before adding the salsa, or it may end up too soupy. My husband and I liked the flavor, although it tasted just like plain spicy chicken. Maybe another spice to make it more unique would be a good addition. We used the tortillas, and they worked great. We'll probably try this one again, with just a little tweaking. A good recipe overall.
