Directions

  1. 1Start by cutting the chicken breasts into small bite-sized pieces to ensure they cook quickly and evenly.
  2. 2Finely chop the onion, red bell pepper, and green chili pepper to add layers of flavor and a hint of spice to the filling.
  3. 3Heat a drizzle of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. 4Add the chopped chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken turns lightly golden brown.
  5. 5Toss in the chopped onion, red bell pepper, and green chili, stirring well to combine.
  6. 6Let them cook until softened and fragrant.
  7. 7Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin, and thyme.
  8. 8Stir thoroughly to coat the chicken and vegetables with the spices.
  9. 9In a separate bowl, whisk the milk with cornstarch until fully dissolved.
  10. 10Pour the milk mixture into the skillet, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken in a creamy, flavorful filling.
  11. 11Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly before assembling the wraps.
  12. 12Cut each tortilla in half to create semi-circles.
  13. 13Place a generous amount of shredded cheese in the center of each tortilla half.
  14. 14Add one to two tablespoons of the prepared chicken mixture over the cheese.
  15. 15Brush the edges of the tortilla with beaten egg, then fold one side over the filling, followed by the other, forming a triangle shape.
  16. 16Dip each triangle into the beaten egg, ensuring full coverage.
  17. 17Roll it in crushed cornflakes, pressing gently for even coating.
  18. 18Preheat the oven to 350-375°F (180-190°C).
  19. 19Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the tortilla triangles with some space between them.
  20. 20Sprinkle a little extra shredded cheese on each wrap for extra flavor.
  21. 21Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown, crispy, and the cheese is perfectly melted.
  22. 22Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
