Chicken Fajita Pita

This is a recipe that our family LOVES.  It is super east and quick.  It makes my mouth water just thinking about it.   Hope you enjoy!
1 clove garlic, minced (I buy the little glass bottles of diced garlic and use about a tsp.)
3 tbs. oil
Mexican seasonings to taste (I used a tsp. of cumin, but anything you like will work)
1 1/4 lbs. skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into strips
1 cup red, green, yellow bell pepper strips
1 small onion diced
2 tbs. lime juice
4 whole wheat pitas, cut in half
Toppings:
shredded cheese
shredded lettuce
sour cream
salsa or cut tomatoes
diced avocados or guacamole

In a large skillet heat oil, garlic, and Mexican seasoning over medium high heat.  Add chicken; saute on each side 4-5 minutes or until tender.  Add pepper strips,onion, and lime juice; saute 4 minutes.  Spread chicken mixture on pita bread.  If desired top with shredded lettuce, cheese, sour cream, salsa, sliced avocado, etc.
