Total Time
40 Minutes Plus marinating
Ingredients
3 medium sweet potatoes (about 400g), scrubbed clean and cut into thin wedges
2 tbsp of olive oil
½ tsp of sweet smoked paprika
½ tsp of mild chilli powder
4 Waitrose British Chicken Breast Fillets (fed on an omega 3 enriched diet)
Zest and juice of 1 lime
2 garlic cloves, crushed
8-10 dashes of Tabasco
1 large avocado, stone removed
Handful coriander, leaves roughly chopped
8 corn tortillas
Natural yogurt and sliced red chilli, to serve
Method
Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200˚C, gas mark 6. Toss the potato wedges in a tray with 1 tbsp of oil, the paprika and chilli powder, then season and roast for 30 minutes until tender. Meanwhile, line a large chopping board with cling film, spread the chicken breasts on top and cover with another sheet of cling film. Bash with a rolling pin until 1cm thick all over.

Step 2

Put the flattened chicken in a medium resealable food bag with the remaining 1 tbsp of oil, the lime zest, garlic and Tabasco. Season and massage through the bag to coat the chicken evenly; set aside for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, roughly mash the avocado and lime juice together; season and stir through the coriander.

Step 3

Heat a large griddle or frying pan over a high heat. Cook the chicken for 4 minutes on each side, until cooked through, then set aside. Heat the tortillas, then serve with the wedges, guacamole and sliced chicken, plus natural yogurt and a scattering of sliced red chilli.
