Taco Pollo - Spicy Chicken Filled Tortillas image

For a Mexican-style dinner, serve these as a starter with creamy avocado or sour cream dip, followed by your favourite hot and spicy Mexican dish. Or serve them with a Mexican vegetable side dish such as Mexican Potato Crisps With Lime Salsa Recipe #139461, Fried Mexican Capsicum & Potatoes Recipe #139465 or Mexican Bean Hotpot Recipe #139476. I've posted this recipe for the 2005 Zaar World Tour from a recipe on an International Masters 'recipes for pan or wok' recipe card.

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 chicken breast fillets
4 garlic cloves
1 red onion
2 tomatoes
1 green capsicum
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
8 ready-made flour tortillas
50 g cheddar cheese or 50 g monterey jack cheese
1 sprig flat leaf parsley, to garnish

Steps:

  • Cut the chicken into thin strips, peel and crush the garlic, peel and slice the onion, de-seed and roughly chop the tomatoes and deseed and slice the capsicum into strips.
  • Heat the oil in a large pan or wok, preferably non-stick and fry the chicken over a high heat, stirring for 2-3 minutes until it is starting to brown; add the garlic and onion and fry for another 2 minutes; stir in the chilli powder, tomatoes and capsicum and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Preheat the grill to medium, grill the tortillas for 6 seconds on each side, or until warm; transfer them to a work surface and spoon equal amounts of the chicken filling onto the centre of each tortilla and roll up tightly.
  • Transfer the filled tortillas to an ovenproof dish and sprinkle with cheesse; cook under a hot grill for 2 minutes, or until golden. Garnish with parsley and lemon and serve.
