Utensils Used
| 1. Skewers: | 2. Cut chicken thighs into large (approx 5cm (2")) cubes. | 3. Thread capsicum and chicken pieces alternately onto four bamboo skewers, i.e. capsicum/chicken/capsicum/chicken etc. | 4. Sprinkle lime juice over the chicken skewers, then evenly sprinkle over the Taco Seasoning, making sure to coat all sides. | 5. Cover and refrigerate while you make the salsa. | 6. Salsa: | 7. In a medium sized bowl, combine avocado cubes, chopped tomatoes, chopped red onion, corn kernels and chopped coriander. | 8. Pour over the jar of Taco Sauce and mix well to combine. | 9. Season with salt to taste. | 10. Cover and refrigerate while you cook the skewers. | 11. Cook skewers on a barbecue (grill) or in a frypan (using a tablespoon or two of oil) over a medium heat until cooked through (about 8-10 minutes), turning constantly. | 12. Reserve any left-over lime juice/seasoning on the plate. | 13. Don't worry if chicken blackens a little, but if it appears to be burning, reduce heat to very low and continue cooking. | 14. About half way through cooking, tip any leftover lime juice/seasoning that's left on the plate over the top of the skewers. | 15. To serve, spoon salsa onto a bed of lettuce or rocket leaves. | 16. Drizzle the skewers with sour cream and serve alongside the salsa. | 17. Garnish with the reserved coriander. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
