Method

0 of 12 done
  1. Finely dice the red bell pepper and red onion. Mince the garlic clove.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  3. Add the chicken breast to the pan and cook until it’s no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add the diced red bell pepper, red onion, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Chop the cooked chicken into small pieces and return it to the pan. Add the smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture cook for another 2-3 minutes to blend the flavours. Remove from heat.
  7. Grate the cheddar cheese.
  8. Place the wheat tortilla in a clean, dry pan over medium heat. Sprinkle half of the grated cheddar cheese over one half of the tortilla.
  9. Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly over the cheese. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and chopped coriander.
  10. Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filled half and press gently with a spatula.
  11. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  12. Remove from the pan and let it cool for 1 minute. Cut into quarters and serve.
