Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pita pocket
1/2-1 garlic clove (any size)
1 tablespoon margarine (enough to coat both sides of pita)
2 slices American cheese (any size)
4 slices smoked turkey breast (any size or Any kind of cheese or meats can be substituted.)

Steps:

  • First step is to chop garlic up finely, preferrably in a mortar until is smashed all to pieces:}.
  • Then combine garlic and margarine so that it makes a garlic butter of it's own in a separate bowl (you should have alot left over for next time or additional sandwiches).
  • Cut pita's in half and fill your pocket pitas as you like them.
  • Coat the pita's on the outside with the garlic butter.
  • Heat a pan up and grilled them to taste.

CHILI-LIME CHICKEN FAJITAS



Chili-Lime Chicken Fajitas image

I like to use my cast-iron skillet for this lime chicken fajitas recipe because it gives the dark sear that flavors the fajitas. If you don't have cast iron, a different pan will work just fine. We go pretty simple with our fajita toppings: lime wedges, cheese and a little sour cream, but you can add anything that you wish. -Ashley Lecker, Green Bay, Wisconsin
