Ingredients:
- 3 Tortillas (Mexican tortillas)
- 150 g chicken fillets
- ½ orange juice + 2 Tbsp
- ½ tsp ground paprika
- ½ orange zest
- 1 + 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 sprig (5cm) of rosemary
- 2 tsp sweet chili sauce
- salt and black pepper
- ½ sweet onion
- 150 g of lettuce (iceberg)
- 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
- green onions
Directions:
- Cut the chicken fillet into thin strips.
- Lay fillets into a bowl, sprinkle with paprika, chopped rosemary, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, orange zest and juice. Mix the ingredients and refrigerate for 20 - 30 minutes.
- Use a brush to apply water on tortillas and cut each into 4 pieces and shape them into little «baskets» by using a mold for muffins. To make a «basket», you need to turn the mold upside down, take a triangle and spread it over the protruding top, slightly pressing, so that the triangle takes sort of cone shape. Shape each tortillas triangle on the mold (or a cup) and bake in a preheated oven (175 C ) for 7-8 minutes.
- Carefully remove «baskets» from the mold and put them on a rack. Cool completely.
- Mix the mayonnaise with 2 teaspoons of orange juice
- Remove chicken fillets from the marinade and dry with a paper towel
- Preheat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a frying pan.
- Fry the chicken breast for about 3 or 5 minutes.
- Add chili sauce, salt and pepper, stir and transfer on a plate
- Tear the lettuce up into small pieces, chop the onion and put it on the bottom of the «baskets»
- Spread a little mayonnaise over the layer of lettuce and onion, then stuff in the chicken breast. Sprinkle with some more finely chopped onion.
