Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. • Finely chop garlic, onion and celery. Drain and rinse lentils. Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. • In a small bowl, combine the white wine vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt.
• Roughly chop cucumber (reserve some for garnish!). Drain the sweetcorn (see ingredients). • Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook sweetcorn until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. • Transfer charred corn to a medium bowl, along with cucumber and some pickling liquid (1 tsp for 2 people / 2 tsp for 4 people). Gently stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are "popping" out.
• Slice mini flour tortillas into quarters. Divide tortillas between two lined oven trays (don’t worry if they overlap). Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. • Toss to coat, then bake until lightly golden and crispy, 8-10 minutes.
TIP: Keep an eye on them. You want them crisp, but not burnt!
• While the tortilla chips are baking, return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook onion, celery and chicken, tossing occasionally until cooked through, 3-4 minutes.
• Add lentils and cook until tender, 2 minutes.
• SPICY! The spice blend is hot, use less if you're sensitive to heat. Add garlic, baby spinach leaves and Mexican Fiesta spice blend (see ingredients) and cook, stirring, until spinach has wilted, 1-2 minutes.
• Stir through tomato paste, the butter and water, then season. Simmer until sauce has thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese over lentil mixture, cover with a lid (or foil) and reduce heat to low. Cook until the cheese has melted, 2-3 minutes.
TIP: Add a splash more water if the mixture seems dry.
• Divide tortilla chips between plates and top with the cheesy chicken and lentil mixture. • Top with sour cream and charred corn salsa. Tear over coriander to serve. Enjoy!
