Ingredients
- 2 chicken breast fillets
- salt and black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp oregano
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp chipotle hot sauce, plus extra to serve
- a pinch of sugar (optional)
- a pinch of bicarbonate of soda
- a pinch of cornflour
- 8-12 small flour tortillas
Cherry tomato pico de gallo
- 10 cherry tomatoes, finely diced
- ½ cup finely shredded coriander
- ½ red onion, very finely diced
- 1 lime, juiced
- salt
Guacamole
- 2 avocados
- 1 lime, juiced
- salt
Marinating time: 1 hour
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally to produce 2 thin, flat pieces. Cover with a piece of baking paper and pound with a rolling pin to flatten slightly. Place into a medium bowl, season with salt and pepper and combine with the olive oil, paprika, cumin, oregano, soy sauce, hot sauce, sugar (if using), bicarbonate of soda and cornflour. Marinate for as long as you like. I prefer at least an hour, but 15 minutes would be the minimum.
- For the guacamole, mash the avocados in a medium bowl with the lime juice and salt and set aside.
- For the cherry tomato pico de gallo, combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix to combine.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 2 minutes per side until barely cooked. Remove to a warm plate, drizzle with a little olive oil and rest.
- Warm the tortillas (either by wrapping in foil and heating in the oven, or quickly grilling on a grill pan) then top with a dollop of the guacamole. Slice the chicken lengthways into a thick, long strips and place on the guacamole. Drizzle over a little more hot sauce and spoon over the pico de gallo to serve.
