MainMeatSnack

This Mexican dish can be made using chicken or any type of meat, fish or even vegetables. The filling is rolled in Tortilla, a Mexican bread. If you do not have tortillas, use ordinary chapatties. It can be served as a main meal or as a starter. For a starter, cut each tortilla into 2-3 slices and serve with salad.

1-2 tomatoes, seeds removed & chopped into small pieces
1 cup olives, stones removed

Instructions

Make Chapatties at home or buy ready made tortillas.
Heat oil in a wok or kadhai.
Fry onions and garlic until golden brown.
Add chicken pieces (or meat etc.), green chillies, Mexican spices, salt and pepper and stir fry on medium high, until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Takes about 6-8 minutes.
Putting Tortillas together, one at a time:
Heat tortilla on a griddle.
Spoon 1 tbs. of chicken/filling along the centre and a little grated cheese on top of the chicken.
Roll edges over to overlap and make a roll.
Turn the roll over with a spatula gently, and heat the other side.
Serve on a bed of salad of your choice, with 1-2 tsp. of taco sauce/salsa spooned over the tortilla.
Salad dressing can be served separately in a bowl.
Place a few olives on the plate as a garnish.
If one large tortilla is used, slice the roll diagonally, into 2-3 inch size pieces.

Notes

Tortillas can be shallow fried in a pan, at step 6.
Avocado Dip and Mexican Taco sauce goes well with this dish.
