Three spicy filled wraps as white delivery vans, with a sharp chili sauce alarm signal.

Long, white tortilla wraps lined up as three delivery vans, filled with spicy chicken and sharp pickles. The wraps rest on green lettuce, with a streak of red chili sauce as an alarm signal. A nod to the news, with tension and sharp flavors.

Ingredients

  • 8 medium tortilla wraps (white)
  • 700 g chicken breast
  • 2 red onions
  • 2 red bell peppers
  • 4 tbsp pickle slices
  • 1 red chili pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 4 tbsp sour cream
  • 4 tbsp chili sauce (hot)
  • 1 head romaine lettuce
  • 1 lime
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • salt and pepper

Method

  1. Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. Mix with paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, and olive oil.
  2. Heat a grill pan and cook the chicken strips until cooked through and lightly browned.
  3. Slice the red onions into half rings, the peppers into strips, and finely chop the chili pepper. Mince the garlic.
  4. Fry onion, pepper, chili, and garlic with the chicken for 3 minutes.
  5. Wash the lettuce, dry, and place as a bed on four large plates.
  6. Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry pan or microwave to make them flexible.
  7. Fill each wrap with the chicken mixture, pickle slices, and a spoon of sour cream. Roll up tightly.
  8. On each plate, place three wraps side by side on the lettuce, as three delivery vans in a row.
  9. Draw a thin streak of chili sauce diagonally over the wraps as an alarm signal.
  10. Cut the lime into wedges and serve alongside.

Serving notes

  • Lay the wraps in a perfect row to mimic delivery vans.
  • Serve with extra chili sauce for added tension.
  • Garnish with lime wedges for extra sharpness.
