Spicy Chicken Tomato Pitas image

I'm not sure if this is a Mediterranean dish with a southwestern flair or the other way around. All I know is that it's ideal for a summer dinner. The tomato relish is yummy as an appetizer with tortilla chips, so you may want to double it. -Cori Cooper, Boise, Idaho
