Method
-
step 1
Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. To make the salsa, mix all the ingredients with a good pinch of salt.
-
step 2
To make the taquitos, heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan. Fry the onion and pepper on high until softened and slightly golden. Stir in the cumin and chilli powder and cook for a minute.
-
step 3
Put the chicken in a bowl then add the onion/pepper mix. Toss everything together. Lay out the tortillas and divide the chicken mix down the middle. Top with grated cheese and roll up into fat cigar shapes.
-
step 4
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large ovenproof pan. Add the tortillas and fry on both sides until crisp and golden. Finish in the oven for 5 minutes to crisp up the sides.
-
step 5
To serve, put a pile of lettuce on a plate. Sit two taquitos on top then dollop with salsa, drizzle with soured cream and serve with the lime wedges. Scatter some coriander over to finish.
