Sometimes you just want a simple meal, and this is just that! A spicy chicken wrap with black beans and cheese. Lettuce optional! Use our hot Mexican blend if you want something with a real kick, or opt for the mild version if you’re feeding the family. Don’t go out and buy black beans just for this - use what you have. serves 4-6
700g chicken breast, each cut into 2-3 pieces, or boneless, skinless thighs
3 tbsp oil
2 level tbsp Mexican spice
1 can black beans (or any other variety)
250g mild cheese such as a gouda or mild cheddar, grated
4-6 large-ish tortilla wraps
to serve: shredded lettuce, sliced avocado, jalapenos
Mix the spices with the oil and use to coat the chicken pieces. Marinate for a couple of hours or longer.
Space the chicken pieces out in a roasting tin or any oven-proof dish and bake at 180 degrees for about 25 minutes, or until just cooked through.
Using two forks shred the chicken. It can be chilled at this stage if you are not eating straight away.
Take a tortilla and pile some chicken in the middle, topped by a spoonful of the beans. Scatter generously with cheese and microwave for about 40 seconds, or until the cheese is runny but not crispy.
Top with lettuce, avocado etc and fold up into a neat parcel.
