- ·220g mixed peppers
- ·120g onions
- ·3 wholemeal wrapss
- ·10g ground spices (cumin, paprika, turmeric)
- ·12g olive oil

Method
- 1Chicken sliced across the grain into finger-width strips — with the grain it comes out stringy however well you cook it.
- 2Hottest pan you own. Chicken in with half the oil and half the spices, spread out and left for 3 minutes without touching it.
- 3Out onto a plate. Peppers and onion into the same pan with the rest, 4 minutes, again barely stirred — you want black edges.
- 4Chicken back in for a minute, all the lemon over.
- 5Wraps charred dry in a second pan while that happens.
Cooking the chicken and the vegetables separately is the whole thing. Together they release water and everything boils.
