Fajita Pitas image

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

These fajita pitas are a great way to use up leftover chicken or steak. They're also a healthy and affordable meal option. I like to make a big batch of these pitas on the weekend and then eat them throughout the week for lunch or dinner.

These pitas were delicious! I used a store-bought fajita seasoning packet to make the chicken and it turned out great. The pitas were soft and fluffy, and the fillings were flavorful and satisfying. I will definitely be making these again.
