We have never met anyone who doesn’t love a good taco. These are packed with spicy chicken and loaded with trimmings to tingle your taste buds. They’re perfect for a family gathering or Saturday night fiesta.

Ingredients

  • 500g chicken breast, cut into bite-size strips

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil

  • 3 Tbsp Sriracha chilli sauce

  • 12 small soft shell flour tortillas

Guacamole:

  • 2 large ripe avocados

  • 1 Tbsp chilli sauce

  • Small handful of coriander leaves, finely chopped

  • Salt and pepper

Pico de gallo:

  • 4 large tomatoes, deseeded and finely diced

  • ½ red onion, finely diced

  • 1 red chilli, finely diced (remove the seeds to reduce the heat)

  • Small handful of coriander, finely chopped

  • Salt and pepper

Method

Guacamole:

Halve the avocados and scrape the flesh into a bowl with a good pinch of salt and pepper and mash well. Add the chilli sauce and coriander, mix well and season to taste then set aside.

Pico de gallo:

Place all the ingredients in a large bowl, toss to combine, season to taste and set aside.

Chicken:

Mix the olive oil and chilli sauce in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss until well coated. Cook the chicken in a large fry pan on a medium/high heat until dark, sticky and cooked through.

To serve:

Hold a soft tortilla in your hand and spread on some guacamole. Add some cabbage, a couple of slices of chicken, a few teaspoons of pico de gallo and finish with a flourish of coriander, chilli or your favourite hot sauce.
