Инструкции
- For making cajun rice, clean, wash and soak rice in enough water for 1 hour.
- After 1 hour in a pan heat oil, saute onion and garlic for 2 - 3 minutes.
- Mix in rice, drained kidney beans and chipotle chilli, fry for another 2 - 3 minutes. Add all the spices, salt and mix nicely.
- Pour water, cover and cook until rice is fully cooked.
- For making grilled chicken, clean, wash and pat dry the chicken breast.
- In a wooden board sprinkle salt, pepper, thyme and paprika. Toss chicken breast over the spices. Drizzle olive oil over chicken breast and gently massage chicken breast so that it gets coated well with the seasoning.
- Now bash the chicken breast. (See here how to do bashing)
- Once bashing is done heat the Grill Pan or hot barbecue and cook chicken breast for 5 to 10 minutes, or until crispy and slightly caramelised on both sides.
- While grilling chicken, on the sides of the pan add strips of bell pepper to grill simultaneously.
- Meanwhile, scoop out the pulp of avocado and mash it up with a fork and squeeze in lemon juice to prevent it from blackening.
- Finally for assembling, warm the tortillas in a dry frying pan, then divide and pile equal amounts of the Cajun rice and chicken slices onto one side of each tortilla. Scatter over the sliced vegetables and lettuce leaves. Add a spoonful of avocado, honey mustard and salsa dressing.
- Roll them up, tucking in two sides as you go, so you end up with one open-ended burrito.
- Serve with a dollop of yoghurt and a drizzle of chilli sauce on the side.
