Instructions

Step 1

In a bowl add the white cabbage, onion, jalapeno, coriander, lime juice, vinegar, extra virgin olive oil and coriander. Mix everything with a spoon and simply season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper, and reserve. Cut the chicken thighs into bite size pieces, place them in a bowl and set aside. In another bowl add the eggs, a splash of milk, a bit of salt and pepper, and whisk until all the ingredients are combined. Prepare another container with the flour, add the Smoky Chipotle Fajita & Taco Mix, salt and freshly ground black pepper, mix with a spoon, and reserve. Heat up the vegetable oil in a frying pan. You want your oil to be very hot before frying! To check if your oil is ready add a small piece of bread into the oil and if it starts bubbling up quite quickly it means it’s hot enough and you’re ready to go. Coat your chicken into the egg mixture first, then into the flour with chipotle spice, and finally into the frying pan until it gets crispy and golden brown. Remove from the oil and place the chicken over kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil. Repeat this process with the rest of the chicken. Warm up the Soft Taco Wraps and get ready to serve your tacos while your chicken is still warm. Add a good amount of crispy chicken on each, then some of the slaw, a generous amount of Hot Habanero Mango Salsa, a drizzle of creme fraiche and limes on the side. NB – If your chicken gets cold a good way to reheat it is by placing it into the oven at 200°C for a couple of minutes.
