Avocado Inspired...

It's the middle of winter here in Texas, but is was almost 80 here today. A hint of summer weather inspired a taste of summer. Grilled chicken with a couple of "salsas"...one celebrating the rich buttery taste of avocado. Delicious and healthy.


This isn't really a recipe, but a "process"...I bet you can keep up.


For the avocado salsa, mix one avocado that you've diced with a half of an onion also diced. Add the juice from one lime and a pinch of kosher salt and mix (but gently...you don't want to mash the avocado any more than you have to).


I also included a warm salsa...nothing more than a red bell pepper and a half a red onion, both diced and sauteed in a little olive oil until slightly softened.


And, of course, the main ingredient...a grilled chicken breast that you've seasoned ahead of time with your favorite Mexican spices. Definitely a little cayenne pepper, maybe some cumin and lime as well.


To assemble, plate the chicken and put the red pepper salsa on one half and the avocado on the other. Top with a few sliced green onions and a little sour cream. You won't need any side dishes. Just make sure to open a Tecate or mix a margarita to go with....
