Ingredients

500 g chicken thigh
2 brown onions, cut into thick wedges
1 tsp each ground cumin, paprika, coriander, oregano
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp olive oil
1 large red onion, finely diced
1 mango, diced
Large handful coriander, roughly chopped
Juice 1 lime
1 avocado, cut into thin wedges
12 tortillas, warmed
1 fresh jalapeño, thinly sliced - optional
Extra lime to serve

Method

1

Combine the chicken, onion, spices, salt and half the olive oil in a large bowl. Leave to marinate for 10 minutes.

2

Meanwhile combine the red onion, mango, coriander, lime and season to taste.

3

Place a large pan over a medium high heat and add the remaining olive oil. Add the marinated chicken/onion mix and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning the chicken and onions throughout to caramelise and cook through. Add 1/4 cup water to the pan to deglaze all the delicious bits from the pan and stir that through, then transfer the contents of the pan to a bowl and slice the chicken into thin pieces.

4

Place the warmed tortillas down and top with avocado slices, chicken, caramelised onions, and the red onion, mango salsa. Add a couple of slices of jalapeño if using and serve with extra lime wedge.
