Ingredients

4 skinless chicken breasts

4 warmed corn or wheat tortillas (optional)

1 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp chipotle chilli paste

1 tsp onion granules

2 garlic cloves, crushed or finely grated

½ tsp ground cumin

1 large lime, juice only

240g can red kidney beans in water, drained

2 avocados, peeled, stones removed, roughly chopped

2 plum tomatoes, roughly chopped

Directions

For the chicken, make 3–4 diagonal slashes on the top of each chicken breast and place in a non-reactive (glass) bowl.

For the marinade, mix all the marinade ingredients together and season well with salt and pepper. Spread the marinade all over the chicken. Cover the chicken and leave to marinate for 3–4 hours, or overnight if time permits.

Preheat the grill to medium-high. Put the chicken on a grill-rack in a single layer. Grill for 4–5 minutes on each side or until cooked through.

Serve the chicken with the salsa and the warmed tortillas (if using).
