Shredded Chicken Tortilla Sandwich

Ingredients

Chicken

• 200 g chicken breast
• 1 small onion
• Bay leaf
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1 garlic clove
• 2 cardamom pods and 2 cloves
• Seven-spice mix
• 2 tbsp oil
• Salt and black pepper
• Mixed spices and a pinch of sweet or hot paprika for the shredded chicken

Sandwich

• Tortillas (or buns or toast)
• Truffle mayonnaise or regular
• Toast cheese, cheddar or a mix
• Pickles
• Lettuce
• Tabasco sauce
• Butter for the pan

Method

1. Toss the chicken with the spices, onion and aromatics, add boiling water and simmer 20 to 30 minutes until very tender. Cool slightly, then shred by hand or with a mixer, one or two pulses in a deep bowl.
2. Season the shredded chicken with salt, black pepper, mixed spices and a pinch of paprika and mix.
3. Place a tortilla in a buttered pan, add the cheese, chicken, mayonnaise, lettuce, pickles and Tabasco, cover with another tortilla and flip, or fold it over and flip. Press with a weight so it toasts on all sides. Serve with fries.
