Cooking Steps
• Cut cucumber into thin sticks. • Slice avocado in half, scoop out flesh and thinly slice. Thinly slice red onion. • Grate smoked Cheddar cheese. • Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks. • In a medium bowl, combine Mexican Fiesta spice blend, a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken and toss to coat.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook onion and diced bacon, breaking bacon up with a spoon, until starting to brown, 4-6 minutes. • Add the water, the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar, stirring to combine. Cook until reduced, 1 minute. • Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• While bacon jam is cooking, to the bowl with chicken, add cornflour, tossing to coat.
• Wash out frying pan and return to medium-high heat with enough olive oil to cover the base. • When oil is hot, dust off any excess flour from chicken, then cook, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 4-5 minutes. • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine deluxe slaw mix, a drizzle of the white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season generously. • Microwave mini flourtortillas on a plate in 10 second bursts until warmed through.
• Bring everything to the table. • Build your own tacos by spreading each tortilla with bacon jam. Top with slaw, avocado, cucumber, popcorn chicken and smoked cheddar. • Drizzle over light sour cream to serve. Enjoy!
