CHECK OUT THIS CHICKEN
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken on one side until golden, 2-4 minutes. Flip, cover with the lid, and fry until cooked through, 2-4 minutes. During the final 1-2 minutes, baste the chicken with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before shredding and seasoning.
CHEESY BEANS
While the chicken is resting, return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the drain beans and the cheese, and fry until warmed through and melted, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pan, season, and set aside.
HAVO SOME AVO
Halve the avocado and set aside the half with the pip for another meal. Peel and roughly dice the remaining half. In a small bowl, loosen the sour cream with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.
TOASTY TORTILLAS
Place the tortillas on a microwavable plate and sprinkle with droplets of water. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Alternatively, place a clean pan over medium heat. When hot, dry toast the tortillas until lightly crisped, 15 seconds per side. Once heated, stack under a dry tea towel to stop them from drying out.
