Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C with convection/gas setting 6 and wrap 8 medium tortillas in foil.

  2. 2

    Combine 1 generous tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon ground coriander, a pinch of ground cumin, 2 minced garlic cloves, 4 tablespoons olive oil, juice of 1 lime and 4‑5 drops Tabasco in a bowl, adding a generous pinch of salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Add to the marinade 2 thinly sliced chicken breasts, 1 thinly sliced red onion, 1 sliced red pepper and 1 thinly sliced red chili (optional) and mix.

  4. 4

    Heat a grill pan to very high temperature and add the chicken with the marinade.

  5. 5

    Stir constantly over high heat for about 5 minutes using tongs until you get a nice charred crust. If your grill pan is small, you may need to cook in two batches.

  6. 6

    To check the chicken is done, find the thickest piece and cut it in half — if any part is still raw, continue cooking until done.

  7. 7

    Place the tortillas in the oven to warm them, and serve with the cooked chicken, a bag of mixed salad and one pack (230 g) of fresh salsa.
