Recipe

1. Fry the diced onion in a little oil until soft. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute.

2. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes until thickened.

3. Take the pan off the heat and blend smooth with a stick blender. Taste and adjust the salt and heat.

4. Slice half the red onion thinly. In a separate bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the sliced onion, a pinch of salt and cumin, and a few spoonfuls of the sauce until coated. Keep the rest of the sauce for the base and topping.

Optional jalapeño relish mixed in with the chicken, to taste.

5. Spread a thin layer of sauce over the base of a baking dish.

6. Warm each tortilla in a dry pan to make it pliable. Spoon chicken down the centre with a little cheese, roll up and place seam side down in the dish. Repeat for all 8.

7. Pour the remaining sauce over the top and scatter with the rest of the cheese.

8. Bake at 200°C for 15/20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Finely dice the other half of the red onion and finish with it and torn parsley.
