Total: 25 minutes
Ingredients
500 g skinless, boneless chicken breasts, pounded until 1 cm thick
⅓ cup (80 ml) lime juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 red onion, cut into 4 thick rounds
1 ½ teaspoons sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ cup (60 ml) olive oil
2 green capsicums, cut lengthwise into flat pieces
2 red capsicums, cut lengthwise into flat pieces
4 flour tortillas (20 cm across)
1 cup (150 g) crumbled goat's cheese, or feta
1 cup Sour cream - to serve
Method
Place chicken on a plate and sprinkle with ¼ cup (60 ml) of the lime juice and ½ teaspoon of the salt. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, or at least 30 minutes.
Preheat a barbecue hotplate or grill to medium - high heat. In a bowl, gently toss together onion, sugar, cinnamon, cumin, cloves and ½ teaspoon of salt. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and toss again.
Toss chicken with another tablespoon of the oil. Place on barbecue with the onion and capsicums. Cook for the following amounts of time: barbecue chicken for 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through; barbecue onion for 4 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and crisp-tender; barbecue capsicums, skin side down, for 10 minutes, or until skin is blackened.
When ingredients are cool enough to handle, cut chicken lengthwise into strips; cut onion rounds in half; peel capsicums and cut into strips. Transfer to a bowl, then add remaining oil, lime juice and salt. Toss well.
Divide mixture among the tortillas. Sprinkle with goat's cheese and sour cream, roll up like a cone and serve.
