Ingredients

Serves 4

  • 4 chicken fillets, butterflied
  • 2 tbsp Mexican spice mix
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lime, juice only
  • 200g ripe plum tomatoes, diced
  • 4 flour tortillas
  • 200g homemade coleslaw (see below)
  • ½ head iceberg lettuce, shredded

Method

  1. Pre-heat the barbecue to medium.
  2. Place the chicken fillets in a bowl and sprinkle with the Mexican spices, tossing until they are evenly coated.
  3. When the barbecue is ready, oil the grill grates. Grill the chicken over an indirect heat so they cook through but don't burn. Use a lid if possible for a smokier flavour.
  4. Meanwhile, whisk together the olive oil and lime juice in a bowl. Add the diced tomatoes and toss them in the oil and lime.
  5. When the chicken is cooked through, place it on a cutting board and slice into strips.
  6. Warm the tortillas on the grill for a minute, then build the wrap by adding some strips of chicken, diced tomatoes, coleslaw and shredded lettuce. Roll up tightly and cut on the diagonal to serve.
