Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air, then boil half a kettle
Add your couscous, diced apricots and ground turmeric to a heatproof bowl, season generously with salt and mix it all together
Add 130ml [190ml] [260ml] boiled water to the bowl, then cover with a tea towel and set aside
Peel and finely slice your brown onion[s]
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the sliced onion with a pinch of salt and cook for 2-3 min or until starting to soften
Once starting to soften, increase the heat to high and add your diced chicken breast and cook for 6-7 min further until starting to brown
While the chicken is cooking, top, tail, peel and grate your carrot[s]
Add the grated carrot to a large bowl with half your white wine vinegar (you'll use the rest later!) and 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar
Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, give everything a good mix up and set aside – this is your carrot slaw
Once the chicken has browned, add your ras el hanout and a splash of cold water and cook for 4-5 min further until the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!) – this is your spiced chicken filling
Meanwhile, add your tortillas to a plate and put the plate in the microwave for 20 secs on high or until the tortillas are warmed through
Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Add your tahini, mayo, chopped garlic (not a big garlic fan? Try using less!), remaining white wine vinegar, 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] cold water and a pinch of salt to a small bowl and give it a good mix up – this is your tahini mayo
Wash your salad, then pat it dry with kitchen paper
Fluff the fruity couscous with a fork
Top half of each warmed tortilla with the fruity couscous, spiced chicken filling, salad and carrot slaw
Dollop the tahini mayo over the top
Tip: Go light on the filling on your first one so that you don't overfill the burritos!
To make the perfect burrito, fold the sides of each loaded tortilla in and wrap the bottom of the tortilla over the filling, tucking it in tightly
Roll the tortilla until you're left with a burrito, then wrap them in tin foil to hold everything together – these are your Moroccan-style burritos
Serve the Moroccan-style burritos alongside the remaining salad and carrot slaw and enjoy!
