Ingredients

  • 2 large, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 tsp smoked hot paprika
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Warmed tortilla wraps, to serve
  • 142ml pot soured cream, to serve
  • Mixed dressed salad, to serve
  • For the sauce
  • 280g jar roasted red peppers in oil
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 75g piece chorizo, skinned and diced

Method: How to make chicken and chorizo wraps

1. Cut the chicken into large chunks and put in a non-metallic bowl with the paprika, garlic, lemon zest and juice and oil. Season, toss together and marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 hours.

Tip

For veggies, replace the chorizo with 1 diced courgette, and use 400g diced haloumi instead of the chicken.

2. Meanwhile, make the sauce. Drain and roughly chop the peppers, reserving 2 tablespoons oil. Heat the reserved oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, until softened. Add the peppers, chorizo and a splash of water. Cover and simmer over a gentle heat for 5 minutes, until the sauce is thickened. Season to taste. Cover and keep warm.

3. Preheat the grill to medium-high. Thread the marinated chicken onto metal or wooden skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them first in water to prevent scorching). Grill for about 5 minutes each side, until the chicken is cooked through.

4. Remove the chicken from the skewers and serve on the wraps with the sauce, soured cream and a mixed dressed salad.

Drink note

It's got to be a Spanish wine, and the best bet is a modern red like a Navarra Tempranillo, or try a young, less oaky Rioja.
