MARINATE THE Chicken
Rinse the Chicken mini fillets to get rid of any residue from the packet and pat dry with paper towel. Place in a bowl with a drizzle of oil, some seasoning, and the Cajun Rub to taste. Toss to coat and set aside to marinate.
FANCY FILLINGS
Place the cabbage and carrot in a bowl and pour over the pickling liquid. Toss to coat and set aside to pickle. Combine the red pesto with the smooth cottage cheese and loosen it slightly with 1 tsp of water or milk. Season to taste and set aside for serving.
CREAMY CARAMELISED Onion
Place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced Onion for 6-8 minutes until soft and caramelised, shifting occasionally. In the final minute, add a splash of pickling liquid from the slaw to caramelise it further. Transfer to a bowl on completion, cover to keep warm, and set aside for serving.
FRAGRANT FRIED Chicken
Return the pan to a medium heat. When hot, pan fry the mini fillets for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the heat on completion and set aside to rest in the pan until serving.
TIME TO HEAT THINGS UP
Place a clean pan over a medium heat. When hot, dry toast the tortillas one at a time for 30-60 seconds per side until heated and lightly crisped. Remove from the pan on completion.
TIME TO WRAP THINGS UP
Lay out the toasty wraps and smear over the creamy red pesto. In the centre, pile up the shredded green leaves, pickled slaw, caramelised Onion, and Cajun Chicken. Garnish with the sliced mint and fold it all up. Finger-licking good!
