Ingredients
- 3 Free Range Chicken Breasts
- 1 pack of flour tortillas
- 2 tomatoes
- 1 small bunch fresh coriander
- 1 red onion
- 1 avocado
- Sour Cream
- Lime
- Grated tasty cheese
Chicken Seasoning:
- 1.5 tsp cumin
- 1.5 tsp oregano
- 1.5 tsp sweet paprika
- Salt and pepper (as much as you feel)
- A few cloves of fresh minced garlic
- Olive oil
Optional extras:
- Chopped lettuce
- Hot sauce
- Fresh pineapple (charred on the stove)
Method
- Finely dice onion, tomato and coriander. You don't need to use the whole onion, just eyeball it and stop when you're happy with the onion to tomato ratio - any leftover onion can be fried up with the chicken. Mix together tomato, onion, and coriander with a big squeeze of lime juice and set aside. (If anyone in your family is not a coriander fan, you can leave the coriander out.)
- Cut avocado into cubes and mix with a squeeze of lime juice plus a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Dice chicken breast then coat all over with chicken seasoning mix plus a drizzle of olive oil.
- Fry chicken plus a spoonful of your tomato/onion mix in a hot pan until golden brown and cooked through, then set aside.
- (Optional) Mix sour cream with a squeeze of lime juice to give it a little something extra flavour-wise!
- Heat each tortilla for about 10 seconds per side on a (clean) hot pan with a little bit of olive oil. You can also melt a bit of cheese on the tortilla during this step, or just add it when you assemble the tacos if you prefer.
- Assemble tacos starting with a smear of sour cream, a heaping spoonful of chicken, tomato and onion mix, a bit of avocado, then top with a final squeeze of lime juice and sprinkle of chopped coriander. Other extras you can add: chopped lettuce, charred pineapple, or a little bit of your favourite hot sauce!
