1½ cups grated pizza cheese

6 soft flour tortillas

1 cup canned refried beans

375g jar thick and chunky mild salsa

Method

  1. Heat oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add onion and capsicums. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, or until soft. Add spice mix. Cook, stirring for 30 seconds. Remove. 

  2. Combine chicken and cheese in a large bowl. Add capsicum mixture. Mix well. 

  3. Place tortillas on a clean bench. Spread 2 tablespoons beans over each tortilla. Spoon chicken mixture evenly over one half. Drizzle each with 1 tablespoon of the salsa. Fold over tortillas to enclose filling.
