Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Drain sweetcorn.

• Grate carrot. 

• Place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks.

• SPICY! This is a mild spice blend, but use less if you're sensitive to heat. In a medium bowl, combine Tex-Mex spice blend, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add peeled chicken, tossing to coat.

Cook the chicken & corn
2

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. 
• Cook chicken steaks until cooked through, 3-6 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with butter and a drizzle of olive oil.

• Cook corn, tossing, until starting to brown, 1-2 minutes.


TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.

Make the slaw & heat the tortillas
3

• Meanwhile, combine grated carrot, shredded cabbage mix, the mayonnaise 
and a drizzle of white wine vinegar. Season to taste.
• When prawns are ready, microwave mini flour tortillas on a microwave-safe plate in 10 second bursts until warmed through.  

Finish & serve
4

• Slice chicken. 

• Top each tortilla with creamy slaw, chicken and corn.
• Sprinkle with torn coriander to serve. Enjoy!
