Ingredients

• 1 dried ancho chilli
• 1 wholemeal tortilla
• 3 tsp vegetable oil
• 50g quinoa
• 150g sour cream
• 1 lime, juiced
• ½ tsp ground cumin
• ½ tsp paprika
• ¼ tsp white pepper
• ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 chicken breast
• ½ red chilli powder
• 3 tbsp black beans
• 1 spring onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp fresh coriander, finely chopped
• ½ avocado, sliced

 Directions:

• Leave the ancho chili to soak in a small bowl of warm water until it softens, then set aside. Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas mark 6. Brush the tortilla with 1 tsp vegetable oil and arrange in an upturned muffin tin. Place a small heatproof object in the middle of the tortilla, like a mini ramekin, to stop it from puffing up. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes until the tortilla starts to brown. Remove the ramekin and bake for a further minute. Remove the tortilla from the oven and set aside to cool.
• Rinse the quinoa thoroughly then add to a pan with 150ml water. Bring to the boil and leave to simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until the quinoa has absorbed all the liquid.
• Meanwhile, drain the chilli and add to a mini blender along with the sour cream, lime juice and a large pinch of salt. Blitz until combined and smooth. Transfer to the fridge to chill.
• Combine the spices and season. Rub the chicken with 1 tsp of vegetable oil, then the spices. Heat a griddle pan on a medium flame. Add the chicken and cook for 3 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is completely cooked through with no signs of pink. Set aside.
• Heat the remaining 1 tsp of vegetable oil in a small frying pan. Add the pepper and sauté for 1 minute. Add the quinoa and black beans and continue to cook for another minute. Remove from the heat and add the spring onion and coriander, tossing together.
• Pour the quinoa mixture into the tortilla bowl. Top with the avocado. Slice the chicken breast into strips and place on top, then drizzle with the chili sauce.
