     2 tb Olive oil
     1 cl Garlic; minced
   1/2    Red onion; sliced thin
     2    Colored bell peppers; in
          - 1/4" strips
     2 tb (to 4 tb) reserved marinade

MMMMM--------------------SCREAMING SOUR CREAM-------------------------
   1/2 c  Sour cream
     2 ts Hot sauce
   1/2 ts Salt
   1/4 ts Fresh ground pepper
     1 ts Garlic powder

 In a bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients together
 and whisk until fully incorporated. Reserve 1/4 cup of
 marinade.

 Prepare the vegetables, heat olive oil and garlic in a
 pan over high heat. Add the vegetables and saute for 2
 to 3 minutes. Add the reserved 1/4 cup marinade and cook
 for another minute. Season with salt and pepper. Take
 off heat and set aside. To make the sour cream, mix
 together the sour cream, hot sauce, salt, pepper, and
 garlic powder and refrigerate until ready to use.

 To prepare the guacamole, remove the flesh from the
 avocados and immediately pour the lime juice on top to
 prevent the flesh from turning brown. Combine the rest
 of the guacamole ingredients and mash together with a
 fork. Set aside in the refrigerator. To assemble
 fajitas: Spread 1 heaping tablespoon of screaming sour
 cream over the tortilla. Add 4 to 5 thin slices of meat.
 Add a few pieces of stir-fried vegetables. Top with holy
 guacamole.
