Instructions

Char the Pepper
1

a) Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.

b) Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Cut lengthways into thin wedges.

c) Put the pepper strips onto a baking tray and drizzle with oil. Season with salt and pepper.

d) When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until soft and slightly charred, 14-16 mins.

Fry the Chicken
2

a) While the pepper chars, heat a drizzle of oil in a medium frying pan on medium-high heat.

b) Once hot, add the diced chicken. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

c) Stir-fry until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Build the Flavour
3

a) Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

b) Add the garlic and peri peri seasoning to the chicken. Fry for 1 min.

Taco Topping Time
4

a) While the chicken cooks, trim the baby gem, halve lengthways, then thinly slice.

b) Grate the Cheddar cheese.

c) In a small bowl, mix together the mayo (see pantry for amount) and sweet chilli sauce.

Warm the Tortillas
5

a) A couple of mins before you're ready to serve, pop the tortillas onto a baking tray and into the oven to warm through, 1-2 mins.

Finish and Serve
6

a) When everything's ready, lay the tortillas onto your serving plates (3 per person).

b) To make your tacos, spread the base of each with sweet chilli mayo, top with the baby gem, charred pepper and peri peri chicken.

c) Finish with your grated cheese. TIP: Tacos are best enjoyed eaten by hand - get stuck in!

Enjoy!
