Ingredients

  • For the barbecue sauce:
  • 1/4 cups white vinegar
  • 1/4 cups brown sugar
  • 1/4 cups Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cups tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • For the chicken and to assemble:
  • olive oil for frying
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 11/2 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 4 chicken thighs, skins removed
  • salt and pepper
  • 8 x 20cm soft flour tortillas
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • handful coriander, finely chopped
  • sour cream to serve

Method

  • Place all of the barbecue sauce ingredients in a bowl and whisk until combined. Set aside.
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C. Heat some olive oil in a deep frying pan. Saute the red onion, paprika and cumin together for a three minutes. Add the chicken thighs and season with salt and pepper. Toss the chicken to coat in the spices.
  • Transfer the contents of the saucepan to an ovenproof dish. (Try and use one that allows the chicken to fit snugly in a single layer.) Pour the barbecue sauce over the chicken.
  • Cover the oven dish with foil and bake for one hour. Transfer the chicken to a chopping board. Take the chicken off the bone and shred. Place the shredded chicken in a bowl. Add one cup of the barbecue sauce from the oven dish and mix well.
  • Spread the barbecue chicken over four flour tortillas. Add a sprinkling of cheddar cheese and chopped coriander. Place another tortilla on top of each one.
  • Heat a frying pan over a medium heat. Dry fry each tortilla for a minute on each side. Cut into wedges and serve immediately with some sour cream.
