FAJITA PITAS
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

- On a sheet pan, toss the peppers with olive oil and salt. On a second sheet pan, place the chicken pieces. Roast both for 10-15 minutes, until chicken is cooked and peppers are browned.
- Serve chicken, peppers, sauce, and all the other fixings on a big platter (or just a sheet pan, really) and everyone can build their own pitas / bowls / salads. So much salty-briney-crunchy goodness.

- Start with the marinade. Place the garlic, lime juice, oil, salt, cumin, paprika, chili powder, and pepper in a large Ziploc bag. Add the chicken or steak to the same bad with the marinade. Close the bag, and get as much air out as possible. Mush the chicken around to make sure the marinade is covering the chicken. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- While the chicken or steak is marinating, heat up 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium high. Add the peppers and onion to the hot pan. Cook down the peppers and onions for around 10 minutes, or until soft.
- Heat up a separate grill pan to medium high. Once the chicken or steak has finished marinating place each piece on the grill pan, and cook until desired temperature is reached.
- For chicken be sure to cook it through (about 15 minutes each side depending on how thick the breasts are). For the steak it depends on what temperature you like. I like medium rare, so I cooked it about 8-10 minutes each side.

- Place 1 teaspoon of oil in a large pan and heat over medium high heat. Add the chicken to the pan in a single layer.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until chicken is browned and cooked through. As chicken is finishing cooking add the sauteed onions and give it a good stir.
