Avocado Chicken Pitas

Crazy nights are pretty frequent around here, so I'm always on the hunt for easy, but filling meals to try.   This simple meal had it all--it was easy, healthy, and filling--and  was perfect served with a fruit smoothie.  The little kids picked off the tomatoes, but otherwise really enjoyed these as much as the adults and older kids!
