Southwest Chicken Pileup

Chicken and veggies on top of a pita. I saw this recipe on the Biggest Loser Workout #2 video. This recipe can also be made vegetarian by skipping the chicken and sauteing the bean in the Mexican seasoning and garlic powder for a few minutes.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 1
• Yields: 1 pita

Ingredients

• 1  teaspoon  Mexican seasoning or 1  teaspoon  southwest seasoning
• 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1  small boneless chicken breast
• 1  whole wheat pita bread
• 2  tablespoons  hummus, preferably red pepper flavor
• 2  tablespoons canned black beans, drained
• 3  red onion strips
• 3  slices red bell peppers
• 2  tablespoons chopped tomatoes
• 2  tablespoons  chopped fresh cilantro leaves
• 2  tablespoons  finely shredded light cheddar cheese
• 4  teaspoons  guacamole or 4  teaspoons fat free sour cream

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 450*.
2. Sprinkle the seasoning and garlic powder over the chicken and grill the chicken on high heat until it's no longer pink - about 3-5 min per side. Transfer to cutting board. Let sit 5 min and chop into bite sized pieces.
3. Take pita and grill 1-2 min each side until toasted then remove and put on a baking sheet.
4. Spread hummus on pita and then layer with beans, chicken, onion, red pepper, tomato, cilantro and cheese.
5. Bake 6-8 min until cheese is melted, let stand 5 minutes. Top with guacamole or sour cream.
6. Slice in wedges and serve.
