Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 500 grams chicken breast or thigh fillets cut into strips
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes 400 grams
  • 1 can kidney beans 400 grams, drained and rinsed
  • 1 packet MAGGI Chilli Con Carne spice mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup grated cheese
  • sour cream for serving
  • salsa for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a large frying pan over medium heat, combine the chicken strips, crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, MAGGI Chilli Con Carne spice mix, and water. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Warm the flour tortillas according to the package instructions or by heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.
  • To assemble, place a portion of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, grated cheese, sour cream, and salsa as desired. Fold or roll the tortillas to enclose the filling.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy your Mexican Chicken Tortillas!

Notes

For added flavor, consider topping with sliced jalapeños, diced avocado, or fresh cilantro. You can also substitute the MAGGI Chilli Con Carne spice mix with your preferred taco seasoning if desired.
