Spicy Chicken Tomato Pitas

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min. YIELD: 4 servings.
I’m not sure if this is a Mediterranean dish with a southwestern flair or the other way around. All I know is that it’s ideal for a summer dinner. The tomato relish is yummy as an appetizer with tortilla chips, so you may want to double it. —Cori Cooper, Boise, Idaho
