FAJITA PITAS
I was late coming home one evening and forgot to pick up tortillas for the fajitas we planned for dinner. So we used pita bread that I had in the freezer instead. The warm chicken-filled pockets, garnished with a homemade sauce and other tasty toppings, are often requested when we're hungry for something in a hurry. -Diana Jones, Springtown, Texas

Steps:
- For the marinade: Whisk the soy sauce, lime juice, honey, cumin, cayenne, garlic and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Place the steak in a large freezer bag or a baking dish and pour the marinade over it. Marinate the steak at least 30 minutes and up to 3 hours in the refrigerator.
- For the chimichurri: Whisk together the oil, red wine vinegar, lime juice, garlic, jalapeno and red onions. Add the herbs and toss to combine. Set aside until ready to build the sandwich.
- Heat a grill pan to high heat.
- Remove the meat from the marinade, let any excess drip from the meat so it is not overly wet. Grill the meat for 4 to 6 minutes each side for medium-rare. Transfer the meat to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
- While the meat rests, toss the peppers and onions in a bowl with the oil and salt and pepper. Place onto the grill and cook until the vegetables are nice and charred, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Cut the pita pockets in half.
- Slice the rested skirt steak into thin strips against the grain.
- To build the pocket: Lay a piece of Havarti cheese in the pita, add slices of skirt steak, some peppers and onions and pour in some chimichurri.

FAJITA PITA
My version of the "Che' Box" culinary delight. Ultimately you would keep the marinated breast whole and grill it occasionally brushing it with some reserved marinade before slicing, but I put instructions for pan fry for convenience. The only relevant measurements are the marinade, everything else is up to you. *My 2 cents, the pita bread they serve at the Box seems more like a tortilla shaped into a pita pocket, so use a tortilla if so desired. I used cheddar cheese for the recipe because they serve it that way but I use a store bought Mexican cheese blend when I make it.

Steps:
- Whisk together the marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Place the chicken in a ziplock bag. Add marinade. Seal the bag, pressing out any excess air, massage the marinade into the meat a bit. Refrigerate anywhere from 3-10 hours.
- When ready to prepare, brush the onion slices with a little oil, salt and pepper and cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until tender, when done set aside.
- Place 1 teaspoon of oil in a large pan and heat over medium high heat. Add the chicken to the pan in a single layer.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until chicken is browned and cooked through. As chicken is finishing cooking add the sauteed onions and give it a good stir.
- Warm up the pita bread in the oven until pliable, slice them in half resulting in 4 half moon pockets. (The recipe calls for 3 so you will have a leftover or make 4 but they'll be lean).
- Carefully open the warmed pita and add a big slice of lettuce, the tomato, the chicken grilled onion mixture and top with the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Top with pico de gallo, optional.
