Yield: Serves 1
Ingredients
- 1 tsp. salt-free Mexican or Southwest seasoning
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 small (1/4-pound) boneless, skinless chicken breast, trimmed of visible fat
- 1 whole-wheat pita (6 1/2" diameter)
- 2 Tbsp. hummus, preferably red-pepper flavor
- 2 Tbsp. no-salt-added canned black beans, drained
- Several red onion strips
- Several red bell pepper strips
- 2 Tbsp. chopped tomato
- 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 Tbsp. finely shredded Cabot 75% Light Cheddar Cheese
- 4 tsp. guacamole or fat-free sour cream (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Preheat a grill to high heat.
Sprinkle the seasoning and garlic powder evenly over the chicken. Place the chicken on the grill rack. Reduce the heat to medium. (If it is not possible to reduce the heat, cook the chicken away from direct heat.) Grill for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until no longer pink and the juices run clear. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes. Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Meanwhile, place the pita on the grill rack. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until lightly toasted. Place the pita on a nonstick baking sheet. Spread evenly with the hummus. Top evenly in layers with the beans, the reserved chicken, onion, red pepper, tomato, cilantro, and cheese.
Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Let stand for 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate. Slice into 4 wedges. Top each wedge with a teaspoon of guacamole or sour cream, if desired.

+love this! what's great about this recipe is that you can take away and/or add things to it as well.

Enjoy!

+Great recipe! I'm not much of a "healthy" eater but this is delicious! Even my father-in-law, who does not like vegetables, really liked this. I call it Mexican Pizza, and no one even notices the hummus. :-)

+My husband couldn't even detect the hummus. It is really a great dinner and easy.

This is a fantastic recipe, don't be alarmed at first glance of using hummus. My husband is a very picky eater and requests this quite often, is easy and very satisfying.
