Serves 6
Ingredients
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 200ml passata
- 75g chipotle paste
- 6 chicken breasts
- ½ lime, juiced
- 6 large tortillas

Steps
- Add the vegetable stock, spices, garlic, passata, chipotle paste and an inch of water to a large pan. Place on the heat and bring to a simmer.
- To the simmering spices, add the chicken breasts.
- Poach the chicken for around 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
- While the chicken is poaching, preheat the oven to 190C/170C fan make the taco bowls. Brush each tortilla with a little olive oil before tucking into a small oven proof dish, and hold in place using foil. Cook the tortilla for 8-10 minutes, or until crisp. It may be easier to do these in batches.
- Shred the chicken using two forks before assembling your taco bowls.
- Put a thin layer of lettuce in the bottom to avoid the taco going soggy, before layering with chicken, yoghurt, cheese, tomatoes, avocado and any other topping that takes your fancy.
