Sauce
1 large avocado, pitted, peeled and cut into fourths
1/2 C plain greek yogurt
1/4 C water
Juice of 1 lemon
1 small jalapeno pepper
1/8 tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp black pepper

Fajitas
4 chicken breasts, cut into 1/2 inch thick strips
1/8 tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp ground cumin
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1/2 inch strips
1 large green bell pepper, cut into 1/2 inch strips
1 large yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/2 inch strips
1 white onion, cut into 1/2 inch slivers
2 large garlic cloves, minced
8 tortillas

For the sauce, place all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.  Set aside.
For the fajitas, season the chicken with salt, pepper, cumin and half the oregano.  Heat oil over medium high heat, then add chicken and cook 4 to 5 minutes.  Add the bell peppers, onion, garlic and remaining oregano.  Season with salt and pepper to taste, then cook a few more minutes, until veggies are soft.  Warm tortillas.  Scoop chicken and veggie mixture into each tortilla and drizzle with avocado sauce.  Fold the tortilla over and serve.
