Tortilla a la Maria & Joachim

Our friends are on a road trip and lucky for us they chose to make a stop at our house and fix the evening meal. This happily served five growing boys and two sets of parents...


A colorful table


3 skinless boneless chicken breasts, diced
4 shredded carrots
2 red bell peppers, diced
1/2 cucumber, diced
1 small head broccoli
2 handful mixed green lettuce
3 tomatoes
1/2 red onion
3 avocados

Dressing:
8 oz sour cream or plain nonfat yoghurt
2 cloves of garlic
juice from 1/2 lime
salt & pepper

Marinade:
4 tbs virgin olive oil
1/2 ts paprika
1/2 ts cumin
1 clove of garlic
salt & pepper

1 packet of soft tortillas (24)

And if your palate is anything like mine: Tons of fresh coriander...

- Mix marinade ingredients, add the uncooked chicken cubes and leave for at least 30 min.
- Mix dressing ingredients, cover and place in the fridge.
- Peel and shred the raw carrots, wash and dice the bell peppers, cucumber, and tomatoes. Break or cut                the raw broccoli into very small pieces and wash and dry the lettuce. Chop the onions and dice the   avocado and arrange everything in bowls.
- Heat the oven to 385 F.
- Heat a large pan and cook the chicken until done, app. 10 min. Make sure not to cook it at too high heat as the meat will turn dry and hard.
-Heat the tortillas app 2 min in the oven and serve immediately. Don't forget the dressing!






Ready...
Go!
