Method
- 01
Toss the diced chicken with the cumin, paprika, chilli powder and a good pinch of salt.
- 02
Fry the chicken in a hot pan for 6 minutes until golden and cooked through, then set aside.
- 03
In the same pan, soften the onion and pepper for 4 minutes, then stir the chicken back in with a squeeze of lime.
- 04
Wipe the pan and set it over medium heat with a little butter.
- 05
Lay in a tortilla, cover half of it with cheese, then the filling, then a little more cheese, and fold it over.
- 06
Cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, pressing down with a spatula, until deep golden and the cheese has melted completely.
- 07
Rest for a minute before cutting into wedges, as it holds together far better this way. Serve with sour cream and salsa.
