Fajitas in Pitas

I've been collecting new recipes to try this summer, and this is one that I tried out the end of June. The mixture that you spread over the chicken breast and the peppers, and also inside the pita bread, made this fajita meal so very tasty!

We have some pepper plants growing in our veggie garden ... I'll have to make this again when the peppers are ready. I'm thinking that this recipe will be one of our go-to grilling recipes during the summer months!
