Ingredients

 

• 3 large chicken breasts finely sliced
• 6 – 8 medium Flour tortillas
• 2 large red onion finely sliced
• 2 large red pepper sliced
• 1 large red chilli finely sliced (optional)

Marinade

• 1 tbsp smoked paprika
• 1 tbsp ground coriander
• pinch ground cumin
• 2 cloves garlic crushed
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large lime juice only

Instructions

• Wrap the 6 medium tortillas in foil.
• Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• In a glass bowl add 1 heap tbsp smoked paprika, pinch of ground cumin, 4 tbsp olive oil, juice of 1 lime, 1 tbsp ground coriander, and 2 crushed garlic cloves together with a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper.
• Skin the chicken breasts if required. Finely slice the breasts into strips and add to the marinade.
• Finely sliced the red onion and the red chilli and slice the red pepper into strips.
• Add to the marinade and mix thoroughly.
• Place a griddle pan or frying pan over a high heat and heat until smoking hot.
• Add the chicken and marinade to the pan.
• Continue to move the pan contents around so they do not stick to the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes.
• If needed cook in separate batches.
• Place the foil wrapped tortillas into the warmed oven to heat up.
• When the chicken is cooked through remove the contents into a warmed bowl.
• Remove the tortillas from the oven and unwrap.
• Fill each tortilla with the chicken, pepper and onion mixture and serve immediately.
• I use a homemade salsa and guacamole for a finishing touch.
