Cooking Steps

Cook the chicken
1

• Place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks.
• 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).
TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, roughly chop tomato. • Grate carrot. • Finely chop garlic and red onion. • Drain and rinse black beans. • In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine half the onion, the vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. • Microwave onion for 30 second bursts, until softened.

Make the salsa
3

• Crush tomato and pickled onion in a mortar and pestle and pound until your preferred consistency. • Add the brown sugar, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper and stir to combine. TIP: Add an extra drizzle more vinegar if this is to your taste! TIP: If you don't have a mortar and pestle, finely chop ingredients.

Fry the beans
4

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook beans and the remaining onion, stirring, until tender, 3-5 minutes. • Add the butter, garlic and Tex-Mex spice blend (see ingredients) and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Remove from heat then lightly crush beans with a fork. Cover to keep warm.

Toss salad & heat tortillas
5

• While beans are cooking, in a large bowl, combine mixed salad leaves, carrot and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste. • Microwave mini flourtortillas on a plate in 10-second bursts until warmed through.

Finish & serve
6

• Slice chicken, then add the mild chipotle sauce, stirring to combine. • Fill tacos with salad, chicken and refried black beans. • Top with crushed tomato salsa and light sour cream to serve. Enjoy!
