I made some guacamole yesterday just because I could... Aaron, my fiance, has been working during the day so I cook these meals for my lunch then he has them for dinner when I got to work at a restaurant. Bit crappy but its only for four days then I get some time off.. then we do it all over again!
The guacamole is delicious. An amazing blend of herbs and spices which Aaron despised
=( but I loved! More for me! But I will have to make some changes next time if I want him to get some good fats into his system!!
This is yet another recipe from

| Yummy Guacamole! |
INGREDIENTS
- 3 Avocadoes (seeded & peeled)
- 1 Lime (juiced)
- 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne (I didn't have this ingredient so I didn't use it)
- 1/2 medium onion (diced)
- 2 tomatoes (seeded and diced - I just used the tomatoes from a leftover peeled tomato tin I had and didnt bother seeding them)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Cilantro (I had Cilantro paste so just squeezed in a heap of that.. maybe what Aaron didnt like??)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
METHOD
- Add avocado and lime juice to a bowl and toss together
- Add Salt, Cumin and Cayenne (if you are using it) and mash together using a potato masher (I used a fork as I did not have the luxury of this handy tool)
- Fold in Tomatoes, Onion, Cilantro and Garlic
- Refridgerate until ready to serve
You can use this Guacamole for so many things. I am going to use it for lunch to go in my chicken fajita, and I plan on using it again when I make bolognese and have tacos. You could have it with corn chips but we can't eat those! So maybe celery or sliced cucumber?
How to make CHICKEN FAJITAS!
INGREDIENTS
- 500g Chicken Breast
- 2 Capsicum
- 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1/4 cup Water
- Fajita Seasoning (I have no idea what this is so I will include what I used below)
METHOD
- In a bowl, mix Olive Oil, Water and Fajita Seasoning. If you do not have this seasoning I improvised with 1 tablespoon Ground Cumin and 1 tablespoon Paprika and 1 teaspoon chopped fresh Thyme
- Cut chicken into strips or cubes and add to bowl
- Make sure the chicken is well coated and place in fridge for 20mins to marinate
- Cut 2 capsicum and 1/2 onion into slightly chunky pieces
- Heat pan to medium-high heat and add a tiny bit of Olive Oil (you dont need much because the marinate already has oil in it
- Cook chicken for about 2mins stirring frequently
- Add chopped capsicum and onion and continue to cook for about 8mins
- Remove from heat. You can eat this by itself stirred in with some guacamole but I it in a Romaine lettuce 'boat' with carrot, tomato, mushroom and some guacamole!
