  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. LET’S WRAP THIS UP!

    Top the warmed tortillas with the fresh shredded cabbage & Corn and the sliced Chicken. Drizzle over the sour cream and dollop over the Guacamole. Garnish with the chopped coriander. Scatter over the drained jalapeños (to taste) and the crispy onions. Wonderful work, Chef!
