Method


  1. Heat the oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pan. It is ready when a breadcrumb that is dropped in will sizzle gently in it. (CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.)

  2. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and sauté the garlic, chilli and chicken.

  3. Add the peppers, beans and coriander and stir together for a further minute.

  4. Add the lime juice and remove from the heat.

  5. Divide the mixture between the two tortilla wraps, then roll up like a spring roll and secure with toothpicks.

  6. Deep fry the tortillas for two minutes until golden, then remove carefully with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen towels. Cut on the diagonal.

  7. To serve, place the parsley on a large plate, add the tortillas and garnish with the lime wedges and a sprinkle of paprika.
