How to Make Avocado Chicken Pitas

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Brush one side of each pita bread with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
  3. Arrange pitas on a baking sheet and bake for 7 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  4. While pitas are baking, mash 1 ripe avocado with 1 tablespoon lime juice, 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and a dash of your favorite hot sauce until smooth and creamy.
  5. Evenly spread the avocado mixture over each of the 4 pitas.
  6. Top each pita with 1/2 cup cooked chicken (shredded or diced), 1/4 cup sliced tomatoes, and 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite).
  7. Bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
