    Method
    Prep:30min  ›  Cook:1hr5min  ›  Ready in:1hr35min 

    1. Pre-heat the oven to 200 C / Gas 6. Place the chicken in an ovenproof dish and bake until cooked through, about 35 minutes. Remove and allow to cool. Reduce oven temperature to 170 C / Gas 3.
    2. Meanwhile, heat a little oil in a frying pan and add the yellow pepper and onion. Cook until softened, 5 to 7 mintues. Add the garlic, jarred peppers and 1/2 the tomatoes. Mix well and cook for a further 5 minutes over medium heat.
    3. Add the oregano, seasoning, chilli powder and vinegar. Mix well and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
    4. Using 2 forks, shred the chicken.
    5. Mix the chicken with pepper mix and coriander.
    6. Divide the mixture evenly between the 2 tortillas. Fold over the sides and secure with a cocktail stick. Scatter over the cheese and the remaining tomatoes.
    7. Place into a baking dish lined with baking parchment. At this point the dish can be placed into the fridge for baking later.
    8. Bake at 170 C / Gas 3 until the chicken is piping hot and the cheese has melted, about 30 minutes.
    9. Serve with a dollop of soured cream and avocado slices along with some extra coriander.
