How to make chicken tacos
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken for 2 minutes and add the garlic, paprika powder, cumin, coriander, and salt and pepper. Fry for another 3 minutes, until the chicken is just cooked, and turn off the heat.
- Get your plate and place the tacos on it. Spoon one-third of the mozzarella onto one half of each taco. Divide the chicken and mango over them. Sprinkle each taco with some fresh coriander (if you’re not a coriander hater… and save some for sprinkling on top) and fold the empty taco halves over the filling.
- Put your pan back over medium heat. There should still be some oil in the pan (and some spices), but add a little extra oil if necessary so the tacos don’t stick. Place the tacos in the pan and fry for 2 minutes, until the underside is golden and crisp. Turn them over and fry the other side for 2 minutes as well.
- Meanwhile, stir the sour cream and lime juice together in a small bowl with a pinch of salt.
- Place the tacos on a plate and tuck a few slices of avocado into each taco. Sprinkle with the remaining coriander and dip the tacos in the lime crema while eating.

One pan, one portion is for singles and single parents, families with picky eaters, housemates with dietary requirements or demanding training schedules; for students spending a day solo, older people cooking for themselves, and everyone who is tired of meal-prepping for multiple days. For Eleanor, cooking for yourself is not a necessary evil, but a moment of self-care with as little washing-up as possible.
