Equipment

1 Non-stick Frying pan
1 Cutting Board
1 Knife
1 Measuring Spoons
1 Fork
1 Bowl

Ingredients

1 lb Chicken breasts
2 pcs Bell peppers
1 cup Salsa store-bought
1 large Avocado
1 tsp Cumin
2 tsp Chili powder
1 tbsp Oil
4 pcs Whole-wheat pita pockets

Instructions

Slice the chicken breasts into strips. Halve the bell peppers, scoop out the seeds, and slice them.
Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat.
Add chicken and bell peppers to the pan. Sprinkle with cumin and chili powder.
Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
Mash the avocado in a bowl with a fork, adding salt and pepper to taste.
Open the pita pockets and fill them with the cooked chicken, peppers, salsa, and mashed avocado.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For added flavor, consider using a mix of red, yellow, and green bell peppers.
You can substitute the chicken with turkey or tofu for a different protein option.
If you prefer spicier fajitas, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce to the chicken while cooking.
Whole-wheat pita pockets can vary in size; adjust the filling quantities accordingly to avoid overstuffing.
This recipe is great for meal prep. Simply store the cooked chicken and peppers separately from the pita pockets and assemble just before eating to maintain freshness.
