CHICKEN & JALAPEÑO
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the chicken mini fillets until golden and cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side. During the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan, place on a chopping board, and roughly chop. Place in a bowl along with the cream cheese, the spring onion whites, the jalapeño relish (to taste), and seasoning. Mix until combined.
GET ROLLIN’
Place the tortillas in a single layer on a chopping board. Place 2-3 tbsp of the chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla in a straight line (you may have some chicken filling left over!) Roll up each tortilla tightly so that it resembles a cylinder with the filling inside. Place on a lightly greased baking tray in a single layer, fold-side down. Pop in the hot oven and bake until golden and starting to crisp, 10-12 minutes.
CORN SALAD
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the corn until starting to char, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and place in a bowl. Toss with the chopped peppers, ½ the picked coriander, the spring onion greens, the rinsed salad leaves, and seasoning.
GUACAMOLE TIME!
Halve the avocado and set aside the half containing the pip for another meal. Peel the remaining half and place in a bowl. Roughly mash to the desired guacamole consistency. Season.
‘QUITO’ DIET!
Pile up the chicken & jalapeño taquitos. Side with the charred corn salad. Serve with the guacamole for dunking. Side with any remaining chicken filling. Sprinkle over the remaining coriander. Well done, Chef!
