  • 1 1/2 lg. limes
  • 1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic in oil
  • Freshly grnd black pepper to taste
  • 1 med.-lg. ripe avocado
  • 1 to 2 Serrano chiles, depending on degree of hotness desired

  • 8 ounce. whole red bell pepper or possibly 7 ounce. sliced (ready cut) (1 1/2 c.)
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro
  • 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 5 or possibly 6 (7 inch) flour tortillas

Method

  • Heat oven or possibly toaster oven to 350 degrees.
  • Wash and dry chicken breasts and sprinkle on both sides with juice of 1/2 lime, garlic and black pepper.
  • Pit, peel and coarsely mash avocado into serving bowl.
  • Sprinkle juice of 1 lime over avocado.
  • Stem, seed and mince chiles in food processor.
  • Coarsely chop onion in food processor; drain.
  • Add in to avocado.
  • Coarsely chop red pepper in food processor and add in to avocado.
  • Wash, dry and chop cilantro by hand; add in to avocado.
  • Cut chicken breasts in half and brown in warm oil in skillet on both sides, 10 to 15 min in total.
  • Wrap tortillas in aluminum foil and steam for 10 min in oven (see note).
  • When chicken is ready, cut into strips.
  • Spread avocado mix generously over one side of tortilla and top with strips of chicken.
  • Roll up tortilla.
  • Repeat process for the other tortillas and serve.
  • Serves 2.
  • Note: Another method for warming tortillas is to heat a heavy, ungreased skillet or possibly griddle, and heat the tortillas for 10 to 15 seconds on each side.
  • The better quality tortillas will puff slightly.
  • This method gives tortillas a more toasted taste then the oven-steaming method, but it takes a bit longer.
