MMMEXICAN Chicken
Place a pan (with a lid) over medium-high 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 and the Mexican spice. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
Corn & CABBAGE & SOUR CREAM
While the Chicken is resting, toss together the corn, the shredded cabbage, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. In a small bowl, loosen the sour cream with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.
TOASTY TORTILLA
Spread the tortillas on a plate in a single layer, sprinkle with small droplets of water, and heat up in the microwave, 30-60 seconds. Alternatively, place a clean pan over medium heat. When hot, toast each tortilla until warmed through, 30-60 seconds per side.
