Avocado Chicken Pitas

Few ingredients, simple and very tasty!

4 whole pitas (I've also used flat breads)
2 tbs. olive oil
1 med. ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
1 tbs. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. hot pepper sauce (optional)
3/4 lb. cook rotisserie chicken (skin removed),cut into strips (I've used the already cooked and cut chicken strips they make for salads and such. 1 box (6 oz. I think) does the trick. I like the Kirkwood chick. breast strips at Aldi the best :)
1 medium tomato, chopped
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Brush one side of each pita bread with oil. Place on ungreased baking sheet and bake at 350 for 12-15 mins or until browned and crisp.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mash avocado with lemon juice, salt, garlic powder, and hot pepper sauce. Spread over pita. Layer with chicken, tomato and cheese. Bake for 5-6 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Yield: 4 servings
