The marinade called for chipotle chillies and Tesco didn't have them - apparently they have a more gentle smokey flavour. Will keep an eye out for them for future but for now bog standard red chilli. As for the salsa it called for an orange seperated into segments. Now me and segmenting oranges clearly don't go and I now have a fetching Peppa Pig plaster on my middle finger - cut finger & citrus juice & chilli - OUCH! Even Peppa & George aren't managing to kiss it better. If only it were as simple as the tap and unwrap of Terry's. There's none of that pith and membrane when Dawn French tucks in.
So here's the finished article. There was supposed to be gucamole in the bottom of the taco (but I didn't make any/forgot/couldn't be bothered) then iceberg, then chicken, then salsa. Girl had taco and chicken (with the bits of chilli picked off). Boy refused the salsa but ate the rest. Mr ate it all (he knows which side his bread is buttered on)
Not sure I'd bother making it again. Chicken itself was nice - basically marinaded in OJ, honey, chilli, S&P then grilled. But the salsa wasn't all that special although the oranges did cut nicely through the chilli - or perhaps that was the blood! Gucamole might have helped - seemed a bit dry. I served it with Jamie Olivers Rice & Peas from the 30 minute meals book. Its quickly become one of my staple side dishes and the leftovers are fab cold - it I will be making again and again.
