Spicy chicken pittas

Spread houmous evenly over 2 pitta breads. Top with shredded meat from 1 cooked chicken breast, 1 sliced tomato, 1 sliced, pickled jalapeno chilli and crumble over a little goat's cheese. Cook under a hot grill until the cheese is lightly browned and sprinkle with some rocket leaves, if you like, to serve.

    I love Houmous, I caramelized some red onions and mixed them in.

    A little too much Tahini in this version which greatly benefits from 1/2 a teaspoon of ground cumin (and maybe a little more garlic!).

    Great recipe, although I would use a little less tahini paste and a little more lemon and garlic.
