• In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a
dash of olive oil over medium heat.
• Add basmati rice, the water and a generous
pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil.
• Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid.
• Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat
and keep covered until rice is tender and water is
absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so
don’t peek!

• Meanwhile, finely chop tomato.
• Zest lime to get a pinch, then slice into wedges.
• Slice chicken breast into thin strips.
• In a medium bowl, combine Tex-Mex spice
blend, lime zest, a drizzle of olive oil and a
pinch of salt. Add chicken, turning to coat.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil
over medium-high heat.
• Cook chicken strips, tossing occasionally, until
browned and cooked through, 6-8 minutes.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it’s no longer
pink inside.

• While chicken is cooking, in a second medium
bowl, combine shredded cabbage mix, a
generous squeeze of lime juice and a drizzle of
olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• In a small bowl, combine tomato, a squeeze of
lime juice and a drizzle of olive oil.
Season to taste.

• Place enchilada sauce (see ingredients) and a
splash of water in a small microwave-safe bowl.
• Microwave in 30 second bursts, until
heated through.

• Bring everything to the table.
• Build your own plate with rice, Tex-Mex chicken,
zingy tomato, slaw, enchilada sauce, sour cream
and shredded Cheddar cheese. Serve with
remaining lime wedges. Enjoy!
If you’ve added mini flour tortillas: Microwave
on a microwave-safe plate in 10 second bursts until
warmed through.
