Dressed Up Chicken

The Haas avocados we bought 2 Sundays ago finally ripened. It's time to use them. We also wanted to use the dried unknown "lemony" peppers (small red like jalapeno size). So we thought some kind of Mexican would be good.

I thawed some chicken (4 or 5 small breasts), cut in strips, browned them, then added chopped dried peppers, 2 cloves of garlic (minced), 1 chopped white onion, 1 chopped red bell pepper, juice of a lime, water, salt, and spices. (Later a handful of dried Marion berries for fun.)

Spice mix: half table spoon pico de gallo seasoning, half table spoon California chili powder, 1 tea spoon cinnamon, ground oregano, ground coriander, cumin. Add some tequila.

Chopped dried peppers: 2 "lemony" peppers, 3 pickled jalapeno pieces, half of an ancho (dried pasilla/poblano).

It tuned out to be very good and not hot (unless eating the pepper seeds). I guess it's not true Mexican but close enough, ha!

We put the chicken on warm corn tortillas, melted Cheddar cheese, and avocado slices. Excellent sauce from the dish and no extra salsa needed.
