		<description><![CDATA[The authentic fajitas are always wrapped in flour tortillas.  Not this version :) This is a spontaneous change from the traditional chicken fajitas recipe &#8211; instead of using a flour tortilla I put the fajita filling in a whole-wheat pita pocket. Ingredients: Chicken breasts, 1 lb 2 bell peppers Salsa, store-bought 1 large avocado Cumin, 1 tsp Chili Powder, 2 tsp 1 tbsp oil 4 whole-wheat pita pockets Directions For Chicken Fajitas In A Pita Pocket: Slice the chicken breasts.  Halve the peppers, scoop out the seeds and discard the seeds.  Slice the bell peppers. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat.  Add chicken and bell peppers, sprinkle with cumin and chili powder and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (no longer pink in center when the thickest pieces are cut).  Remove from the frying pan. Mash the avocado in a bowl with a fork.  Add salt and pepper to taste. Open the pita pocket and fill it with the chicken and peppers, salsa and mashed avocado.  Enjoy!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I went to Trader Joe&#8217;s and saw that unusual lettuce sold in packages.  It had tiny cute crisp green leaves.  The name of the lettuce on the package was Mache Lettuce, and the package also noted the lettuce&#8217;s alternate name &#8211; Lamb&#8217;s Lettuce.  The package with lamb&#8217;s lettuce also had an orange sticker that said &#8220;Great With Avocadoes&#8221;.  So I came back from Trader Joe&#8217;s with the mache lamb&#8217;s lettuce and a couple of avocadoes, ready to make a yummy new salad! Here&#8217;s a picture of Trader Joe&#8217;s package of Mache (Lamb&#8217;s) Lettuce: Ingredients For The Salad: Mache (Lamb&#8217;s) Lettuce Avocado Balsamic Vinegar Olive Oil How To Make A Salad Whisk together balsamic vinegar and olive oil to make a dressing (3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar).  In a bowl, toss the mache lettuce with the dressing.  Put the lettuce on a plate. Peel and pit the avocado.  Thinly slice the avocado.  Put the avocado slices on top of the lettuce.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When the avocado is ripe and ready for eating, the skin peels away from the flesh very easily, and the inside of the avocado is soft and mashes easily with a fork.  Ripe avocado is full of flavor &#8211; it tastes smooth and buttery.  An avocado that is not yet ripe is tough and tasteless. If you peel the avocado that is not yet ripe, there is no going back &#8211; you&#8217;ll have to eat it as is :)  Therefore, before you peel an avocado, always make sure that this avocado is ripe!  If the avocado is not ripe, just leave it on the counter &#8211; it will be ready to eat in a few days. On the other hand, you certainly don&#8217;t want an avocado that is overly ripe (a.k.a spoiled)!  While the unripe avocados can be eaten after several days, a spoiled avocado goes straight to the garbage can :) Here&#8217;s how to tell if an avocado is ripe: Step 1: Analyze How An Avocado Looks The avocado skin should be uniform &#8211; without dents and bruises.  The most common variety of avocado &#8211; Haas avocado &#8211; has a dark green skin with a black tint when ripe [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chicken Fajitas Ingredients: Cooked chicken meat Onion Avocado Flour tortillas Directions how to make chicken fajitas: 1. Thinly slice cooked chicken (I use the slicing blade of the food processor, so it only takes a few seconds to create very thin chicken slices). Here&#8217;s the picture I took of sliced chicken breast for the fajitas: 2. Mash the avocado with a fork, and add salt to taste. 3. Thinly slice the onion (you can use the food processor again). 4. Warm the tortillas in the microwave 5. Assemble the chicken fajitas by putting chicken, onion and avocado in the tortilla.  Fold the tortilla and eat! Also see: guacamole recipe]]></description>
