I was late coming home one evening and forgot to pick up tortillas for the fajitas we planned for dinner. So we used pita bread that I had in the freezer instead. The warm chicken-filled pockets, garnished with a homemade sauce and other tasty toppings, are often requested when we're hungry for something in a hurry. -Diana Jones, Springtown, Texas

I really liked this recipe. I didn't get the chance to grill the chicken so I cooked the chicken in a skillet with chicken broth and salt and pepper. Even my daughter liked. I would make it again.

these are wonderful. I have a handicapped daughter with cerebral palsy, i made pocket tacos for her about 30 years ago because the taco shells crumbled in her hands. she could have a taco and handle it herself. she is 40 years old now and still loves them, she loves the fajitas also.
