1 T. minced garlic
2 T. Fuego Spice Mix (see recipe below)

and pulse until thick and chunky.
Dice remaining three-quarters of the onion for a large skillet, heat the olive
oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and saut� for 5 minutes. Add
spice mix and saut� for 3 to 4 more minutes. Add chicken pieces and saut� until
the chicken is heated through, stirring often. Add tomato mixture to the skillet
