Ingredients

For 4 servings

  • 600 g chicken breast
  • 4 flour tortilla
  • 300 g avocado
  • 30 ml lime juice
  • 80 g Greek yogurt
  • 120 g green cabbage
  • 160 g tomato
  • 15 ml olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 0.75 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Allow about 6 minutes to prepare the cold filling: finely shred the cabbage and dice the tomato. In a mixing bowl, roughly mash the ripe avocado flesh with the lime juice, plain Greek yogurt and 1/4 teaspoon salt, leaving some small chunks. Fold in the cabbage and tomato. Use purchased ready-to-eat flour tortillas, approximately 30 cm wide and 80 g each, at room temperature.

  2. 2

    Allow about 4 minutes to prepare the raw boneless, skinless chicken breast: cut it across the grain into strips about 5 mm thick and season with the cumin and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.

  3. 3

    Add half the olive oil to a deep 30 cm skillet and heat over medium-high heat for 2 minutes, uncovered.

  4. 4

    Add half the chicken in a single layer. Cook uncovered for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until a food thermometer inserted sideways into the thickest strips reads 165°F/74°C. Transfer to a plate. Add the remaining oil and chicken to the same skillet and repeat for about 5 minutes, checking the same internal temperature.

  5. 5

    Allow about 3 minutes to assemble: divide the avocado mixture and cooked chicken evenly among the four ready-to-eat tortillas. Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling. Serve immediately.
