Pico de Gallo

• Medium tomatoes (diced), 2
• Red onion (diced), 1/3 cup
• 1 jalapeno (seeded and diced)
• Lime juice, 2 teaspoons
• Fresh cilantro (minced), 2 teaspoons
• Salt, 1/4 teaspoon
• Ground black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon
• Large flour tortillas, 4
• Shredded cheddar cheese (fancy), 1 cup
• Shredded Monterey jack cheese (fancy), 1 cup
• Shredded iceberg lettuce, 4 cups

Instructions

Step 1

For the marinade, combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix for 2 hours. Once the sugar is dissolved, stir well. Place four chicken breasts in the marinade, cover, and chill for two hours. The chicken shouldn’t be marinated for longer than 2 hours or it might become tough.

Step 2

To make the dipping sauce, add all the ingredients to a medium bowl. Combine well, then chill. This will allow the flavours to develop beautifully while kept in the refrigerator.

Step 3

In order to prepare pico de gallo, combine all of the ingredients, then cover and chill it.

Step 4

Prepare the grill for medium/high heat when you’re ready to make the roll-ups. Place the chicken breast over the grill for 4 to 7 minutes per side or until cooked through.

Step 5

To assemble each roll-up, heat a large skillet over low heat and lay a large flour tortilla on top. While the tortilla is heating, sprinkle about 1/2 cup of the cheese mixture on top.

Step 6

Remove the tortilla from the pan when the cheese begins to melt. Place about 1 cup of shredded lettuce in a strip across the centre of the tortilla, followed by approximately 3 tablespoons of pico de gallo.

Step 7

On top of the lettuce, arrange a grilled chicken breast sliced into bite-sized chunks. To roll the tortilla, fold over the ends of the tortilla and roll from the bottom up. Serve the roll-up with the dipping sauce on the side and cross the centre diagonally.
