Avocado Jack Chicken and Quick Guacamole

As we all know May 5th is Cino de mayo. In keeping with the Mexican  party day I made a few things out of the Mexican part of the cookbook.

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken-breast halves
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 oz Colby Jack Cheese
  • 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 med avocado, chopped
  • 2 tsp lime juice
  • 1 cup picante sauce
Preheat grill to medium.
Pound chicken to 1/4 inch thickness. Sprinkle with chili powder, salt and pepper
cut Colby cheese into 4 pieces. Wrap a piece of chicken around each piece of Cheese. Secure with a toothpick. Rub with Olive oil
Grill 6 inches from heat, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in center of meat registers 180F about 15 minutes. Transfer to individual serving plates.
Combine avocado and Lime juice in a small bowl and toss to coat. Spoon picante sauce and avocado mixture over chicken. Serve Immediately.

It was SOOOOO good.. Tabby said it was  very good. *l*  And then I thought I would make some Guacamole to have for a snack with the  tortilla chips with lime.

  • 2 large ripe Avocados pitted, peeled and chopped
  • 1 tbs lime juice
  • 1 plum tomato chopped ( 1/3 cup)
  • 1 tbs fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • dash of ground red pepper
In a medium bowl mix all ingredients .  
Serve with Tortilla chips
