Instructions

  1. 1. Decide on the tortillas: Use either four ready-made wheat tortillas from the supermarket or make them from scratch.
  2. 2. If making from scratch: Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Gradually add about 100 milliliters of water. Knead the mixture by hand into a soft dough. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes. Divide it into four equal pieces. Roll each piece on a lightly floured surface into a round flatbread about 15 centimeters in diameter.
  3. 3. Preheat a non-stick pan. Cook the tortillas (homemade or store-bought) for about one minute on each side until dark spots appear. Keep the finished tortillas warm.
  4. 4. Alternatively: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Celsius. Place the ready-made tortillas inside for a few minutes to warm them up.
  5. 5. Season the chicken breast fillets with salt and pepper. Fry them in a hot pan with some oil for about five minutes on each side. Remove the meat from the pan and keep it warm.
  6. 6. Wash the bell pepper. Remove the stem and seeds. Cut the bell pepper into small cubes.
  7. 7. Blanch the tomatoes with boiling water. Peel off the skin. Remove the seeds and dice the tomatoes. Add the tomato cubes to the bell pepper cubes.
  8. 8. Peel the oranges thoroughly with a sharp knife. Remove the white pith underneath. Cut the fruit segments (fillets) out of the membranes and catch the released juice in a bowl.
  9. 9. Squeeze the juice from the remaining orange peels. Wash the salad leaves. Dry them well. Cut the leaves into strips.
  10. 10. Cut the warm chicken meat into cubes. Mix the meat with the bell pepper-tomato vegetables, orange segments, and salad strips.
  11. 11. Stir the sour cream with two tablespoons of the collected orange juice. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Add the sauce to the salad-meat mixture and mix everything well.
  12. 12. Fill the warm tortillas with the chicken-vegetable mixture. Add plenty of fresh pepper. Roll the tacos tightly.
  13. 13. Sprinkle the finished tacos with grated Cheddar cheese and fresh chive rings for garnish.
