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. Read More

These were ok but a little dry. I added more salsa after initially tasting them and it was better. They would probably be good if you added sliced black olives corn or some shredded cheese etc. Read More

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

I doubled all of the spices except cayenne pepper as suggested by a previous reviewer and used Hidden Vally Ranch dressing instead of sour cream (i tried 1 with each and liked the ranch better) This was a nice change from our normal meals and I know that I will be making this again really soon.

Delicious easy recipe. Easy to modify if you like it more or less spicy--I didn't even measure anything. It's great just the way it is but also awesome if you take out the sour cream and add sharp cheddar and garlic mayo. Read More
