- Preheat the oven to 200℃/400℉/gas mark 6. Add the chicken breast to a small saucepan and add cold water until just covered. Bring the water to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium.

- Meanwhile, add the kidney beans to a small saucepan and add water until just covered. Cook on a low-medium heat for 5 minutes until they are warmed through but do not boil. Drain and set aside.
- Next, add the pickled jalapenos, tomatoes, spring onions, peppers and coriander to a bowl. Add a dash of lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until combined. In a separate bowl add the avocado and lime juice and mash with a fork until your desired consistency.
- Spray each side of the tortilla with fry light spray and cook in the oven for 3-4 minutes, turning them half way through. Until they are lightly toasted and crispy. Place each wrap on a plate and then top with the pulled chicken and kidney beans. Add the cheddar cheese and cook them in the oven for 2-4 minutes, until the cheese has melted.
- Top with the fresh tomato mix and guacamole, and enjoy.
