Ingredients

2 limes, rinsed
1 tbsp olive oil
480g Tesco Healthy Living Skinless mini chicken breast fillets
4 peppers (red, green, yellow and orange),
washed
1 medium onion
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1tbsp olive oil
2 ripe avocados
1 small clove garlic, peeled and crushed
¼tsp ground cayenne pepper
8 cherry tomatoes, washed and quatered
320g pack flour tortillas, warmed as per packet instructions

Method

1
Make the marinade for the chicken by grating the lime zest into a shallow bowl. Cut the limes in half. Squeeze the juice from 3 halves into the bowl. Add the cayenne pepper and olive oil. Mix well. Add the chicken. Leave for 10 minutes.
2
Cut each pepper in half and pull out the core and stalk to deseed. Cut into thin slices and place in a mixing bowl. Peel and thinly slice the onion. Add to the peppers, with garlic and oil and mix. Leave until ready to cook.
3
To make the guacamole first cut the avocados in half. Remove the stones and scoop out the flesh. Gently mash with a fork to make a lumpy purée. Stir in the garlic with the juice from the remaining half lime and the cayenne pepper. Stir the cherry tomatoes into the guacamole
4
Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan over a medium heat. Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally until the pieces are browned and cooked through (usually about 7 minutes). There should be no trace of pink flesh and the juices must run clear. Transfer to a serving bowl.
5
Stir-fry the pepper mix for 2 minutes until it is lightly coloured but still crunchy. Wrap the chicken, guacamole and peppers in the warm tortillas.
