Method

• step 1

  Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and wrap 8 medium tortillas in foil.

• step 2

  Mix 1 heaped tbsp smoked paprika, 1 tbsp ground coriander, a pinch of ground cumin, 2 crushed garlic cloves, 4 tbsp olive oil, the juice of 1 lime and 4-5 drops Tabasco together in a bowl with a big pinch each of salt and pepper.

• step 3

  Stir 2 finely sliced chicken breasts, 1 finely sliced red onion, 1 sliced red pepper and 1 finely sliced red chilli, if using, into the marinade.

• step 4

  Heat a griddle pan until smoking hot and add the chicken and marinade to the pan.

• step 5

  Keep everything moving over a high heat for about 5 mins using tongs until you get a nice charred effect. If your griddle pan is small you may need to do this in two batches.

• step 6

  To check the chicken is cooked, find the thickest part and tear in half – if any part is still raw cook until done.

• step 7

  Put the tortillas in the oven to heat up and serve with the cooked chicken, a bag of mixed salad and one 230g tub of fresh salsa.
