Chicken and Black Bean Pitas
"This was great! It reminded me of Jack-in-the-Box pitas. I used frozen pre-cooked diced chicken from the grocery store. It worked fine. Also, if you have someone who doesn't like onions, onion powder is fine to substitute."

Prepared for PAC 2009. This were very nice. Easy to put together and perfect for a light lunch. The flavors were very nice, although I might have added a bit more kick to it. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed this and will certainly make again. Thanks! -
