Toss to combine the ingredients. To allow the flavors to meld, set away. Set oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. To make 12 rounds, horizontally cut the pita bread in half. 8 wedges should be cut from each round. Place the pita triangles on two baking sheets in a single layer. Sprinkle cumin on the surface after lightly misting it with nonstick cooking spray. About 5 minutes of baking will provide a very light crisp. On top of the toasted pita chips, arrange the cubed chicken, black beans, and lowfat cheese. The cheese has to melt in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Mix the yogurt, lime juice, zest, and salt in a small bowl. Place aside. Place the nachos on a serving tray and top with some salsa and the lime-yogurt sauce.
