Ingredients
  

  • 2 Chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 80g Sweetcorn
  • 4 Taco wraps
  • 8 tbsp Hot salsa
  • 100g Grated cheese (of your choice)

Garnish

  • 20g  Pickled jalapenos
  • 1 Red chili (sliced)
  • Fresh coriander (handful)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to gas mark 6/200℃/400℉. Add the chicken breasts to a small saucepan and add cold water until just covered. Bring a boil and then lower the heat to medium-high and cooked for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the water and shred with two forks. Alternatively, you can use leftover chicken if you have any and just shred the chicken.
  • Meanwhile, heat a griddle pan or frying pan to medium-high. Add the sweetcorn and cook for 2-3 minutes in the dry pan, until well charred, stirring frequently. Remove the sweetcorn from the pan and set aside. Add a taco wrap at a time and cook on each side for 30-60 seconds until lightly charred.
  • Put the pulled chicken into a bowl and add the BBQ sauce, stir until well combined. (If you want to make your own BBQ sauce I have the perfect recipe here.)
  • Add the salsa to the bottom of each taco wrap and top with the BBQ chicken. Sprinkle the cheese evenly between the tacos and place in the oven for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  • Remove the tacos from the oven and top with pickled jalapenos, red chili and fresh coriander. Serve and enjoy.
