Dice the chicken into small cubes and cook in half the oil, on a high heat for 5-6 minutes. Add in half the coriander and the salt and pepper. Add the onions and peppers with a dash more oil, and heat for 2-3 mins. Reheat the sauce and turn on your grill to medium.

Place the tortillas under the grill for 20seconds each side.  Place on to two large plates, spread the sauce on each one, and place half the chicken and veg mixture on each. Top with the cheese and grill for 2-3 mins until the cheese has melted. Serve with the remaining coriander to garnish.

Low carb option: Omit the tortilla, and replace with a mixed leaf salad or some large lettiuce leaves as the wrap
High carb option: Add a side of sweet potato wedges
