Ingredients

  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • tbsp clear honey
  • 3 limes
  • 4 British chicken breast fillets, each cut into 4 chunks
  • 1 tbsp Cooks’ Ingredients Mexican Style Seasoning
  • 500g pack pineapple chunks
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 extra large ripe avocados
  • ½ x 100g pack coriander, leaves roughly chopped
  • Flour tortillas, charred, to serve (see tip)

Method

  1. Heat the grill to high. Mix the onion, ½ tbsp honey and the juice of 1 lime with some salt in a bowl, then microwave on medium for 1 minute. Set aside, stirring occasionally to speed up the pickling process. Use a small pan instead if you need to.

  2. Put the chicken, Mexican seasoning, pineapple chunks, remaining honey and oil into a bowl. Season with salt, toss to coat well, then thread onto long metal skewers, ideally with 2 pineapple chunks for every piece of chicken.

  3. Grill the chicken skewers on a foil-lined baking tray for 10-15 minutes, turning once, until the chicken is cooked through with no pink meat and juices that run clear, and the edges are charring.

  4. Meanwhile, smash the avocado with the juice of 1 lime and the coriander. Season. Squeeze out the onion, then serve everything on the table, with the remaining lime cut into wedges.

Cook’s tip

Elevate tortillas with quick charring. Cook in a dry, smoking hot pan for 20-30 seconds each side, or directly over the flame on a gas hob, until blackened in places. Wrap in a clean tea towel to keep warm and soft.
