Method- 8 fresh tortilla wraps
- Olive oil, for frying
- Lettuce, finely shredded, for serving For the filling:
- 125 g mature Cheddar, grated
- 125 g mozzarella, grated
- 100 g cream cheese
- 2 T thick mayonnaise
- 1 - 2 T coriander, chopped
- 300 g free-range rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1⁄2 cup thick sour cream
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste For the tomato salsa, mix:
- 200 g whole mini Rosa tomatoes (or halved larger ones)
- 30 g salad onions, thinly sliced
- 1 fresh red chilli, finely chopped, (seeded if you like)
- Red wine vinegar, a dash
- Salt, to taste
Method
Ingredients- To make the filling, mix the cheeses and mayonnaise to form a paste. Add the coriander. Spread one tortilla with the cheese paste. Top with shredded chicken. Smear with sour cream and season with pepper. Cover with a second tortilla. Press together firmly.
- Lightly oil one side of the tortilla and place, oiled side down, in a nonstick pan. Cook very gently until golden brown and the cheese melts. Turn and brown the other side. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Serve immediately (or keep warm in a low oven) with lettuce and the tomato salsa.
