5 boneless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
1 tbsp fajita seasoning mix (or to taste)
1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
3 -4 tbsp vegetable oil
2 large onions, sliced into strips
1 large bell pepper (use red or green, seeded and cut into strips)
1 (8 oz) container sour cream
1 cup grated cheese ( use a mexi-blend
1 cup sliced ripe olives (optional or to taste)

Directions:

Set oven to 325 degrees.

Slice the pitas in half; spread about 1/4-cup of the refried beans on each half, place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Cover foil and bake for about 10-15 minutes.
Meanwhile heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add in the chicken strips and saute for about 5-6 minutes.
Add in the onion slices and bell pepper slices; sate for about 3 minutes or until the chicken is done.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon the mixture equally between the 8 bean-filled warmed pitas.
