Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the cabbage and avocado

    Cut the cabbage into thin strips. Toss it with 10 ml lime juice, 5 ml oil, and 1 g salt, and massage briefly to soften it while keeping it crunchy. Mash the avocado with a fork with the remaining 10 ml lime juice and 0.5 g salt.

    Cook the bean and corn filling

    Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Heat 10 ml oil in a pan and cook the onion for 3 minutes, then add the garlic and corn and cook for another 2 minutes. Stir in the beans, water, chili, and 0.5 g salt. Heat for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally; lightly mash some of the beans so the filling holds together.

    Cook the chicken

    Pat the chicken breasts dry and cut them into strips about 2 cm wide. Toss them with the remaining 10 ml oil, cumin, smoked paprika, and 2.5 g salt. Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and arrange the chicken in a single layer. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, until browned and the thickest part reaches 74 °C. If the pan is small, cook the chicken in two batches.
