To Make the Chicken:

1. Add some oil of chose to a frying pan and toss chicken in. Heat chicken on medium heat, stirring often to get chicken cooking evenly.
2. Add 1/4 cup of water and entire package of fajita seasoning (you can also just follow the directions on that packet). Add more water if necessary.
3. Toss and stir chicken until evenly coated, turn heat to low-med and simmer for another 5 to 8 minutes.

For the Guacamole:

1. Remove peel and core from avocado and chop up into pieces. Add to a medium bowl.
2. Chop and blend avocado until it’s the desired texture.
3. Add chopped cilantro, 1/4 cup of onions, lime juice, salsa or tomatoes and mix well.
4. Add pepper to taste.
