200g leftover roast chicken
4 pitta breads
60g watercress
1 Mango, diced
½ red onion, sliced
½ green pepper, sliced
1 Chilli pepper, diced
100g cherry tomatoes, halved
For the Guasacaca-style sauce:

½ green pepper
1 garlic clove
10g Coriander
10g Parsley
10g Watercress
1 tsp white wine vinegar
Juice of ½ lime

Method:
For the guasacaca, use a food processor to blend all the ingredients together into a fragrant, thick salsa. Use more or less oil to reach your desired consistency.
Lightly toast the pitta breads until they are warm before slicing them open. Layer each pitta with watercress, mango, red onion, green pepper, chillies and tomatoes, then load up with guasacaca!
