  • ½ teaspoon crushed garlic
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • ½ teaspoon cloves
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • ½ teaspoon caster sugar

  • Cook until the spices are fragrant.
  • Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring for a few minutes.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients (except the chicken, tortillas and cheese!) and bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for 30 minutes or until thick.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 180C fan-forced and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • Cook the chicken in a pan with some of the sauce.
  • Lay out the tortillas (you may need to microwave them to soften them) and spread the chicken down the middle then roll them up and place them on the oven tray.

  • Bake for 15 minutes or until the tortillas start to crisp and the cheese melts.
