i had to modify it a bit to work with what i had, i didnt have cilantro or lime juice, and instead of diced tomato i used a half a can of diced tomatos with green chilies and a scoop of salsa. i also used spinach instead of the lettuce. and i added a dash of garlic powder. then i stuffed it in a garlic pita.same basic idea, just tweaked a little.. super tasty..ill def make this one again!! thanks!
