Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Before you start cooking, take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air
Boil half a kettle
Add your free range chicken thighs to a bowl and sprinkle over your ground cumin, ground coriander and a large pinch of salt
Give everything a good mix up – this is your spiced chicken

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat
Once hot, add the spiced chicken and cook for 3 min on each side, or until browned

Meanwhile, combine your chipotle paste (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and tomato paste in a bowl – this is your tinga paste

Trim, then slice your spring onions finely
Wash your lettuce, then pat it dry with kitchen paper and shred finely
Grate your cheddar cheese

Once the chicken has browned, add the tinga paste and the sliced spring onion to the pan
Add 150ml [225ml] [300ml] boiled water and season with a pinch of salt
Cover with a lid and cook for 12-15 min or until the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!)

While the chicken is cooking, combine your mayo with the juice of half your lime[s] and 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] olive oil in a small bowl – this is your lime mayo
Tip: Roll the lime with your hand on a hard surface (to release more juice) and cut in half

Add your tortillas to a plate and pop in the microwave for 20 secs on high or until warmed through
Once the chicken is cooked, transfer to a clean board and shred it apart, using two forks – this technique is known as pulling
Return the pulled chicken to the pan with the sauce and stir it all together – this is your free range chicken tinga
Slice the remaining lime into 1 wedge per person

Divide the shredded lettuce, free range chicken tinga, grated cheese and lime mayo evenly between the warmed tortillas – these are your free range chicken tinga tacos
Garnish with a lime wedge
Enjoy!
