Ingredients
- 7 1/10 oz Red cabbage
- Red wine vinegar
- Olive oil
- 2 Chicken breast
- 1 Red pepper
- 1 Onion
- 6 3/10 oz Fajita paste
- a few sprigs Coriander
- 8 Flour tortillas
- 1 Lime
- natural yoghurt Yoghurt
Instructions
- Finely slice or grate the red cabbage, toss in a mixing bowl with 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar and set aside.
- Place a large frying pan on a medium heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Slice the chicken into thick strips, add to the pan and fry for 6 to 8 minutes, or until golden and cooked through, turning regularly. Remove to a plate and set aside (you may have to do this in batches).
- Deseed and finely slice the red pepper, then peel and finely slice the red onion. Return the pan to the heat with 1 tablespoon of oil, add the sliced veg, cover and cook for 2 minutes, or until slightly softened, then remove the lid and fry until light golden and smelling delicious, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the Smoky Fajita Paste, then return the chicken to the pan and simmer until everything is cooked through, adding a splash of water if it looks too dry. Season to taste, then pick over the coriander leaves.
- Warm the wraps according to packet instructions, then take to the table along with the chicken, veg and pickled cabbage. Lovely with a dollop of natural yoghurt, and wedges of lime for squeezing over.
