Crispy trotilla triangles with chicken
Ingredients
For the Chicken Filling:
200g chicken mince (keema)
1.5 tsp black pepper powder
Salt to taste
Oregano (to taste / enhance flavor)
1 tbsp oil (if required for cooking/pressing)
For Assembly & Coating:
Tortilla wraps
Mozzarella cheese (grated, for topping)
2 eggs
A splash of milk (to whisk with eggs)
Breadcrumbs (for the outer crust)
Salt (to taste, for breadcrumbs)
Paprika (to taste, for breadcrumbs)
Oil for deep frying (low-medium heat)
Method
1. Season & Cook the Mince: In a bowl, combine the chicken mince with black pepper, salt, and oregano. Mix thoroughly.
2. Spread on Tortilla: Take your tortilla wrap and evenly spread the seasoned chicken mince across it. Use a little oil if required to help press the mince down smoothly and evenly onto the surface.
3. Add Cheese & Fold: Add a generous layer of mozzarella cheese right on top of the chicken layer and press it down nicely. Fold and shape the tortilla into neat triangles.
4. Prepare Coating Stations:
Whisk the eggs together with a splash of milk in one bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt and paprika.
5. Coat: Dip each prepared tortilla triangle into the egg-and-milk mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then roll it generously in the seasoned breadcrumbs.
6. Deep Fry: Heat oil in a pan on low-medium heat. Carefully drop the triangles in and deep fry until they turn golden brown and extra crispy, with the cheese melting gooey inside.
7. Serve: Drain excess oil on a paper towel and serve hot!
