Cajun BBQ Chicken Tortillas
Serves: 4
Time to make: 30 mins
Ingredients
- 300g skinless chicken thigh fillets, halved
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 2 capsicums (1 red, 1 yellow), thickly sliced
- 425g can Mexe beans or red kidney beans, rinsed, drained
- 1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves
- 4 wholegrain tortillas
- 1/3 cup reduced-fat Greek-style yoghurt
Instructions
Step 1
Spray chicken fillets with olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the Cajun seasoning. Cover chicken and set aside.
Step 2
Arrange the vegetables on a large baking tray in a single layer. Spray with olive oil and sprinkle vegies with half of the remaining seasoning. Turn and repeat on the other side in order to evenly coat the vegetables.
Step 3
Preheat barbecue hotplate to medium-high heat. Grill the vegetables for 8–10 minutes, turning often until tender. Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes.
Step 4
Reduce heat to medium. Cook chicken for 6 minutes, turn, and cook for a further 2 minutes, or until cooked through. Rest for a few minutes. Then slice.
Step 5
Meanwhile, roughly chop the vegetables and place in a large bowl with any juices. Add the beans and coriander; toss to combine.
Step 6
Serve Cajun chicken and vegetables with the tortillas, and a dollop of yoghurt.
