How to Make Avocado Chicken Pita

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Brush one side of each pita bread with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
  3. Place pitas on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  4. While the pitas bake, mash 1 ripe avocado in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and a dash of your favorite hot pepper sauce.
  5. Spread the avocado mixture evenly over the baked pita bread.
  6. Layer each pita with 1/2 cup cooked chicken (shredded or diced), 1/4 cup sliced tomatoes, and 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Bake for another 5-6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
