ingredients tortilla:

• 300g (12oz) JUVELA Gluten-Free Fibre Mix
• ½tsp salt (optional)
• Approx. 300ml (12fl oz) water

ingredients filling:

• 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
• 300g (12oz) chicken breasts, sliced into strips
• 1 red pepper, sliced into strips
• 1 green pepper, sliced into strips
• 1 yellow pepper, sliced into strips
• 1 red onion, sliced into strips
• 1 tsp Cajun seasoning*
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Oven temperature: 220°C/425°F/Gas Mark 7

Method:

To make the tortillas, place the Fibre Mix in a bowl and add sufficient water to form a soft but not sticky dough. Knead the dough until smooth on a surface lightly dusted with Mix. Divide the dough into eight equal pieces, shape each piece into a round, and roll out thinly. Dust off any excess Mix and cook in a heavy-based frying pan (without oil) for about one minute each side. Layer cooked tortillas in a polythene bag to retain softness.

To make the filling, dry fry the garlic and onion until soft. Add the chicken breasts and Cajun seasoning, and cook through. Add the peppers and season to taste. Spoon the filling down the centre of each tortilla and roll up.
