Instructions

  1. 1.

    For the tortillas, mix flour with salt and parsley in a bowl, gradually add about 100 ml water while stirring and knead by hand into a smooth dough; let rest for 15 minutes. Then divide the dough into four equal portions and roll each into a flat disc of about 15 cm.

    Wash, trim, halve, deseed, and dice the bell peppers.

  5. 5.

    Peel and finely dice the onion and garlic, then sauté in remaining oil, add the peppers, cook a few minutes, season with salt and pepper.

  6. 6.

    Pour tomatoes over water to blanch, peel, deseed, and dice; set aside some cubes for garnish. Add the rest of the tomatoes to the peppers and simmer a few minutes.

    Peel the avocado, halve it, remove the pit, slice into wedges, and drizzle with 1 tbsp lemon juice.

    Dice the chicken breast and mix with the vegetables.
