3. Combine the two to make guacamole
4. Chop onions into segments, capsicum and chicken into thin strips.
5. Chuck onions capiscum and a little oil in pan. Find something else to do so you don't disturb 'em. You want them a little charred. Once they have started going sprinkle some of the seasoning over them.
6. Chop the coriander.
7. Fry the chicken in small batches in the same pan as the onions and capsicum where done. Again you want it charred so don't move the chicken about too much.

Quesadillas

Quesadillas with sour cream and guacamole











These look a lot like white trash food, but tasted divine. Cooking them at the table in the sandwich maker ensured that the 3 year old bought in too. A quick peek at wikipedia for quesadilla makes me think that perhaps these should be called sincronizada instead but what the heck.
