Corn tortillas are pliable but have a firm texture, perfect for saucy fillings. Purple cabbage adds an extra crunch along with a colour burst.

Ingredients

1 x 215g can chipotle chillies in adobo sauce, chillies chopped and sauce reserved
1 tbsp maple syrup
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
500g chicken thigh fillets, trimmed and quartered
500g cauliflower florets (about 1 head)
sea salt and cracked pepper
12 small corn tortillas (330g), lightly toasted
3⅓ cups (300g) finely shredded purple cabbage
1 cup (12g) coriander sprigs
pickled red onions and lime wedges, to serve

Lime dressing

½ cup (140g) plain Greek-style (thick) yoghurt
1½ tbsp lime juice
sea salt and cracked pepper

Method

Step 1
Preheat oven to 220C (200C fan-forced). Line two oven trays with baking paper.
Step 2
Place the chillies and sauce in a bowl. Add syrup, garlic and oil and combine.
Step 3
Place the chicken in a separate large bowl and top with half the chipotle mixture. Toss to coat.
Step 4
Add the cauliflower to the remaining chipotle mixture and toss to coat. Transfer the chicken and cauliflower to the trays and season. Roast for 20 minutes or until the cauliflower is just charred on the edges, the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Step 5
Combine yoghurt, juice, salt and pepper in a bowl. Fill tortillas with cabbage, chicken, cauliflower and coriander. Drizzle with yoghurt dressing and serve with onions and lime wedges.
