Chicken is given an international twist in this crunchy, colourful tortilla that's so easy to make and budget-friendly, too.

2 (about 120g each) single chicken breasts, skin removed
1 small red capsicum
1 small yellow capsicum
1 Spanish onion
1 lime, rind grated, juiced
1 small red chilli, finely chopped
40ml (2 tablespoons) vegetable oil
8 flour tortillas
1 cup chopped fresh coriander
1 cup hummus
Butter lettuce leaves, to serve
Sour cream, to serve

Method

1.

Cut chicken, capsicums and onion into thin strips and place in a bowl. Add lime rind, chilli and oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
2.

Warm the tortillas following packet directions.
3.

Heat a chargrill pan to high. When it is hot, add the chicken mixture and cook for 2-3 minutes until charred (you may need to do these in batches, if so, keep the cooked batch warm in the oven). Stir in the lime juice and half the coriander.
4.

Spread tortillas with hummus, top with lettuce leaves, chicken and scatter with remaining coriander. Serve with sour cream.
