Ingredients

4
Mission® Carb Balance® Pita
1
lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
1
packet (24 g) taco seasoning
2
tbsp vegetable oil
1/3
cup mayonnaise
2
tsp lime juice
1
chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, finely chopped (1 tsp adobo sauce reserved)
1/4
tsp pepper
2
cups purple cabbage, shredded
1
cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
2
avocados, diced
1/2
cup tomato salsa

Instructions

1

In bowl, toss chicken slices with taco seasoning and oil; cook in large skillet set over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until cooked through. Shred chicken using two forks; set aside.

2

Warm pitas according to package directions.

3

In small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, lime juice, chipotle and adobo sauce, and pepper; set aside.

4

Slice each pita in half; open pockets. Fill evenly with chipotle-mayonnaise mixture, cabbage, chicken, cheese, diced avocados and salsa.

Tip: Alternatively, use sliced leftover grilled chicken or rotisserie chicken and reduce taco seasoning to taste. Use chicken cold, or heat chicken with oil in large skillet set over medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes or until heated through.
