Directions

Heat oven to 200°C (180°C fan/gas 6). Wrap tortillas in foil and place in the oven to warm.
In a bowl, mix smoked paprika, ground coriander, cumin, garlic, olive oil, lime juice, Tabasco, salt, and pepper.
Add sliced chicken, onion, red pepper, and chili (if using) to the bowl. Stir until everything is well coated.
Heat a griddle pan until smoking hot. Add the chicken and veggies with the marinade. Cook over high heat for 5 minutes, tossing often, until slightly charred. Work in batches if needed.
Cut into the thickest piece of chicken—if it’s still pink, cook for another 1–2 minutes.
Warm tortillas from the oven, fill with chicken mixture, and serve with fresh salsa and salad.
