Ingredients
- 10 oz Chicken Breasts boneless, skinless, finely chopped
- 1 medium Onion finely chopped
- 1 Red Bell Pepper finely chopped
- 1 Green Chili Pepper finely chopped
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 ½ teaspoons Cornstarch or flour
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Corn Flakes crushed
- ½ cup Cheese grated
- 2-3 Large Tortilla Wraps cut in half
- To taste Salt Black Pepper, Paprika, Cumin, Thyme
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients
- Start by cutting the chicken breasts into small bite-sized pieces to ensure they cook quickly and evenly. Then, finely chop the onion, red bell pepper, and green chili pepper to add layers of flavor and a hint of spice to the filling.
Cook the Filling
- Heat a drizzle of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken turns lightly golden brown. Toss in the chopped onion, red bell pepper, and green chili, stirring well to combine. Let them cook until softened and fragrant.
- Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin, and thyme. Stir thoroughly to coat the chicken and vegetables with the spices. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk with cornstarch until fully dissolved.
- Pour the milk mixture into the skillet, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken in a creamy, flavorful filling. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly before assembling the wraps.
Assemble the Tortilla Wraps
- Cut each tortilla in half to create semi-circles.
- Add cheese first – Place a generous amount of shredded cheese in the center of each tortilla half.
- Spoon in the filling – Add one to two tablespoons of the prepared chicken mixture over the cheese.
- Seal the wraps – Brush the edges of the tortilla with beaten egg, then fold one side over the filling, followed by the other, forming a triangle shape.
- Coat for crunch – Dip each triangle into the beaten egg, ensuring full coverage, then roll it in crushed cornflakes, pressing gently for even coating.
Bake and Serve
- Preheat the oven to 350-375°F (180-190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the tortilla triangles with some space between them.
- Top with more cheese – Sprinkle a little extra shredded cheese on each wrap for extra flavor.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown, crispy, and the cheese is perfectly melted.
- Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
