Mince the garlic then smash with the flat side of a knife into a paste. Cut the lime into quarters. Pick the leaves off the cilantro stems. Set all aside.

Place into the pan and cook, stirring occasionally for 2-4 minutes. Remove from the pan to a plate and cover loosely. Reserve the fond in the pan.
- In the same skillet add the sliced onions and garlic. Cook while stirring 1-2 minutes; season with 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper and then add the bell pepper slices cooking another 2 minutes. Add 1 tbsp water and the reserved meat and any juices back to the pan. Heat until warmed through; 1 minute. Plate and serve topped with the guacamole.
