- Cut 11 oz chicken breast into very small pieces. Do the same with 1 red and 1 yellow bell pepper. Finely chop 2 shallots, 1 red jalapeño pepper, and 2 garlic cloves. Shred 1/2 large carrot and 1/2 cup cheddar cheese.
- Make a spice blend with 2 teaspoons paprika, 2 teaspoons ground cumin, 1 (scant) teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano.
- Heat a large skillet or wok and cook the chicken pieces in a splash of oil until cooked through on all sides. Add the finely chopped shallots, garlic, and red jalapeño pepper. Cook briefly over medium heat, stirring frequently.
- Add the bell peppers, carrot, and kidney beans and mix well. Add the spice blend as well.
- Add the diced tomatoes and stir well. Let everything simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the white sauce by mixing 1/2 cup sour cream with 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 finely chopped garlic clove, and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Next, make the avocado sauce by mashing 1 avocado and mixing it with a splash of lime juice.
- Warm the tortillas in the oven, microwave, or a skillet. Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture, a generous layer of white sauce, iceberg lettuce, some avocado sauce, and finally the cheddar cheese. You can add the ingredients in any order you like. Fold the tortilla tightly, then wrap it in aluminum foil. Cut it in half and enjoy!
