Ingredients
Home-kitchen amounts for 2 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Medium.
- 300 g chicken breast fillets
- ½ cup (125 ml) buttermilk
- 1 cup (150 g) plain flour
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 large flour tortillas (about 30 cm)
- Pepper mayonnaise: ½ cup mayonnaise, 1 tsp cracked black pepper, ½ tsp lemon juice
- 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
- 1 tomato, sliced
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Method
- Slice the fillets into strips and soak in the buttermilk for 30 minutes.
- Stir the flour, paprika, garlic powder and cayenne together. Dredge the strips firmly, rest 10 minutes, then shallow-fry at 175°C for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Drain on a rack.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry pan 20 seconds per side so they roll without cracking.
- Spread pepper mayonnaise down the centre of each tortilla, add lettuce and tomato, then the hot strips.
- Fold the sides in and roll tightly away from you, tucking as you go. Wrap in paper and rest 1 minute. Tip: roll it tight and seam-side down — a loose Twister falls apart in the hand, and the strips must go in hot so the mayo warms slightly and the tortilla seals.
