Method
- Heat a griddle pan or grill to high. Toss the peppers and onions in the oil and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until slightly softened and lightly charred. Set aside.
- Meanwhile make a dressing by mixing the chilli sauce, lime zest and juice, and mayo until smooth, then set aside. Put the lettuce and tomatoes in a large bowl.
- Griddle/grill the tortillas for 30 seconds or so on each side until lightly toasted, then cut into wedges. Toss the peppers, onions, coriander and a little dressing with the rest of the salad and season with salt and pepper. Tip the dressed salad onto a serving platter, arrange the chicken portions and tortillas on top and serve with the remaining dressing and lime wedges for squeezing on the side.
