I made these as a canapé on a party for the first time by cutting small round tostada’s out of wraps and topped it with all the ingredients. But this recipe is a delicious dinner as well, filling wraps with the chicken, salsa, corn and guacamole. It’s the ultimate healthy comfort food!
INGREDIENTS
- 500 gr. free range chicken thighs
- 1 tin of tomatoes
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 tsp. oregano
- 1/2 tsp. of cumin
- 1/3 tsp. of cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp. of onion powder
- 1 tsp. of salt
- 1 tsp. of sugar
Salsa
- 6 large tomatoes, remove tomato seed lists
- 1 red bell pepper
- ½ small red onion
- 2 limes
- Large handful of coriander
Corn cobs and guacamole
- 2 corn cobs
- Pinch of cumin
- Pinch of chili powder
- 2-3 avocados
- 1 lime
- 8-10 (whole wheat) wraps
PREPARATION
- Start with the pulled chicken. Heat some oil in a pot and add the spices and the chopped garlic and fry for 2 minutes. Then add the chicken, a pinch of salt and pepper, the tin of tomatoes and refill the tin with water and add this as well and let it simmer on a low heat with the lid on until the chicken is cooked, about 30-40 minutes. Take the chicken out of the sauce and pull into shreds. Increase the heat and let the tomato sauce cook without the lid until it has been reduced into a thick sauce, for about 10 minutes. When done, add the chicken back into the sauce.
- Meanwhile prepare the corn cobs. Boil the corn cobs for 15 minutes. Drain the water and rub the corn with the spices, salt and olive oil and grill in a frying or griddle pan until charred. Remove the corn from its cob by cutting it of lengthwise.
- For the guacamole, simply mash the avocados with the juice of a lime and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Last but not least prepare the salsa. Chop everything very finely or pulse all the ingredients in a food processor. Taste to check seasoning.
- Heat up the wraps in a hot pan for a minute and cut out little rounds (if you are eating it as a snack). Add the chicken, corn, salsa and guacamole and garnish with coriander. Serve immediately!
