Chicken Tortillas

I always find Monday night's, the first night after the weekend always call for an easy dinner, something you can whip up quickly but still tastes amazing. This Monday, Nat and I decided to make Chicken Tortillas, taking a stab at making the actual tortillas as well.

Let me just say- this is definitely going to be a regular dinner of ours, it was delicious.

Such a fresh flavoursome dinner

This is super easy, and the result is absolutely worth it!

Tortillas (makes about 10)

2 cups plain flour

25g butter, cold

1 1/4 cups boiling water

1/4 tsp salt

In a bowl, combine the flour and salt then rub the butter into the flour until it resembles a fine crumb

Then using a wooden spoon stir in the boiling water and combine until a dough forms

Place dough onto a well floured bench and make about 10 balls of the dough

Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out is it is about 5mm thick

Cook with a dash of oil in a pan for about 2 mins per side

Crispy Chicken

1 chicken breast, cut into about 4 strips

good handful of bread crumbs, we used panko breadcrumbs which are lighter

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp dried oregano

salt and pepper

1 egg, lightly beaten

olive oil

1 lime, halved

Combine all ingredients except egg and chicken in a bowl and combine

Dip the chicken into the egg and then into the crumb mixture

Cook the chicken in a pan with a dash of oil until crumb is nice and golden and chicken is cooked through, whilst cooking the chicken place the lime halves in the pan cut side facing down so it caramelises and lightly flavours the chicken

Filling

bocconcini, halved

baby spinach or rocket

grated carrot

coriander leaves, roughly ripped 

optional: you could have cucumber, capsicum, any other cheese etc

natural yoghurt/ aioli to serve with
