Recipe Categories : | Mexican | Chicken |

Serves : 4-6  Preparation time : 30 mins + 2 hours marinating  Cooking time : 20 minutes

Ingredients :

• 1¼ lb chicken tenderloins
• 4 flour tortillas
• 2 tbsp oil
• 2 red onions, thinly sliced
• 1 red capsicum, thinly sliced
• 1 green capsicum, thinly sliced
  For marinade :
• ½ cup lime juice
• 4 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 tbsp oil
• ½ tspn salt
• ½ tspn black pepper

Preparation and Cooking Instructions

1. To make the marinade : Combine the ingredients in a nonmetallic bowl
2. Trim the chicken of any excess fat or sinew and toss in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
3. Preheat the oven to moderate 180°C (350°F). Wrap the tortillas in foil and bake for 10 minutes to soften. Keep warm.
4. Heat half the oil in a cast-iron pan or heavy-based frying pan. Drain the chicken from the marinade and cook, in batches, over high heat for 4-5 minutes, or until charred and cooked through. Remove and keep warm. Add the remaining oil and cook the vegetables for 3 minutes.
5. Working with one tortilla at a time (leaving the other tortillas wrapped up as you work ), place a quarter of the chicken along the center of the tortilla, top with a quarter of the vegetables and roll up to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Serve with guacamole and a fresh tomato salsa.
