- Crème fraîche
- Salsa - click here for the recipe
- Lime, optional
- Finely chopped fresh jalapeños, optional
Instructions
- Slice the chicken breasts horizontally (parallel to the board), – so you get 2 thin, flat fillets from each breast.
- Toss them in the taco seasoning so they are completely coated.
- Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the chicken in a generous splash of oil for 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on thickness. Cook them over a slightly lower heat rather than too high, so the spices don't burn.Always check that the chicken is cooked through.
- Drain the beans and mix all the salad ingredients together.
- Warm your tortillas as directed on the packet, and meanwhile cut the chicken into strips.
- Top your tortillas with crème fraîche, salsa, salad and chicken.
- If you like, serve with finely chopped fresh jalapeños on top, or a sprinkle of chilli flakes.
