I bought a large bag of sweet peppers (orange, red and yellow) a couple of weeks ago for my husband to snack on. He had several, but the peppers were starting to go bad before we were going to finish the bag. So I decided to make Chicken Fajita Pitas (you know, like the ones they sell at Jack-in-the-Box, only better) to use them up! This is a quick, colorful meal packed with good-for-you ingredients. It’s also another one that’s friendly to your waistline. 🙂

This recipe looks perfect for our busy baseball nights. I can easily have everything ready to go in just a few minutes. And……….everything is just more fun in a pita.

It really is quick to toss together! The chopping is what takes the most time, I think!
