Tortilla Wraps with Chicken Marinated in Pineapple Juice

July 29, 2013

Tortilla wraps are magical. You can add any filling and expect them to turn out yummy! Today I will share a filling that has soft chicken pieces with crunchy veggies, I learnt this filling recipe years back from one of my favorite chefs from Pakistan Chef Mehboob. He has an art of making authentic and simple food! (unless he is working for a particular brand – and he ends up adding additional stuff for sake of it!)

Pineapple juice marinade makes the chicken really soft. It doesn’t leave a sweet flavour.

Tortilla Wraps with Chicken Marinated in Pineapple Filling

Recipe: Tortilla Wraps with Pineapple marinated chicken

Ingredients

8-10 Tortilla wraps- small size (I purchased them from market- you can buy all flour or whole wheat or make them home too!)
Chicken – 2 Breast pieces diced into smaller chunks
Onion- one diced in long
Red Capsicum- diced in long cut
Cheese slices
Pineapple Chunks- diced in small cubes(optional- if you like sweet with salty)
Salsa Dip

For marination (1-2 hours)

Pineapple Juice (1/2 cup)- from the tin
Red chillies – 1 tsp
Salt 1 tsp
Ginger Garlic Paste- 1 tbsp

Instructions

Take out the marinated chicken and fry it on high heat till just cooked.
In a separate pan -take all the vegetables (except pineapple chunks) and fry them on high heat with little bit of olive oil. Toss them, so they stay crisp. Fry till onions become transparent. Season it with salt
Mix the vegetables with the cooked chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes to infuse all the flavours.
Take the chicken and vegetable off the heat and divide filling into 8 equal portions.
If you dont have time to make the Salsa dip, you can make one by adding one tomato 2-3 green chillies, 1tsp sugar, 1/2 tsp salt in a blender and blend it to a smooth paste.
Now take a tortilla wrap - heat both sides in a pan (without oil).
Add the salsa dip, the chicken filling, pineapple chunks and cheese onto the tortilla wrap and fold it or wrap it in a roll form.
Serve it with Chunky Salsa Dip
