So, this is a concoction I made a while ago and like to call my own Mexican tortillas, I love them and the good thing is you can add whatever you want to them and make them your own. S0, I'll tell you the recipe for the chicken & red bean "frijoles" because the guacamole recipe was already given before *check recipe archive
This will make about 4 big tortilla wraps:
4 tortilla wraps, 1 chicken breast marinated in paprika, lemon, salt and olive oil grilled and shredded, 1 handful of green salad mixed leaves (spinach, rocket, lettuce, etc), 1 red capsicum chargrilled skinned and cut into stripes, 1 tomato, 1 can red kidney beans, 3 garlic cloves crushed, 2 tbs chopped red onion, olive oil, 1 tbs cumin powder, salt & pepper
1. Make the Guacamole *see previous recipe
2. Grill the chicken, let it cool and shred it. Grill the capsicum until soft, let it cool, remove skin and cut into slices
3. Make the frijoles: heat the oil in a frypan, add the garlic and the onion and cook till they are soft, add the beans (previously rinsed) and stir. Add a bit of water and start mashing them in the pan in low heat until a paste starts to form. Add cumin, salt and keep mashing. Transfer to a mortar & pestle or a food processor ( I like it a bit coarser) and make the bean paste. Correct the flavours adding salt, cumin and olive oil as you go along.
4. Chop the tomato and arrange all the ingredients on a plate.
5. Place some frijoles on a tortilla wrap, add some chicken, green leaves, capsicum, tomato and top with the guacamole, *if you like cheese, go crazy now
6. Last but not least, enjoy them.
I am salivating as I write this, they were awesome!!
