- 1 large red pepper, thinly sliced
- 250g skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
- ½ TBSP light olive oil
- 1 tin refried beans
- 30g cheddar, grated

- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tin chopped tomatoes
- 1 TBSP cajun spice mix (or BBQ for less heat)
- A handful of chopped fresh coriander (keep some back as a garnish)
For the Bechamel sauce
- 150g (about 1/3 large tub) Clandeboye Greek Style Yoghurt
- 1 TBSP olive oil
- 1 TBSP cornflour
- 100ml hot chicken stock
To serve
- 4 whole wheat tortillas or 8 small corn tortillas
- Large green salad
Steps
- Make the tomato sauce: Heat the oil in a pan and sweat the onion off until softened, adding the garlic in for the last 2 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and spice blend and simmer until reduced by a third (12-15 mins).
- Turn the heat off and add the chopped corriander.
- Meanwhile, add the oil, onions, peppers and chicken to a large pan and saute until all the veg are tender and the chicken cooked through. Take off heat.
- To make the Bechamel: Heat the oil in a saucepan then beat the flour in with a whisk to form a really smooth paste. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Gradually whisk the chicken stock in. Then repeat with the yoghurt, whisking the sauce until it’s smooth enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- To assemble: Warm the tortillas and spread a line of beans down the middle.
- Spoon a couple of tablespoons of sauce over the beans (you will use what’s left to put on top.
- Divide the chicken and veggies between the tortillas and fold over to enclose the filling.
- Pour the remaining sauce over the top, then the bechamel.
- Sprinkle the cheese over the top and bake for about 15 minutes until bubbling.
- Scatter some coriander over the top and serve with a green salad.
