Ingredients

  • Chicken breast - 250 grams, diced
  • Guava paste - 100 grams
  • Fresh ginger - 1 tablespoon, grated
  • Fresh cilantro - 1/4 cup, chopped
  • Lime - 1, juiced
  • Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
  • Corn tortillas - 4 small
  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Garlic - 1 clove, minced
  • Onion - 1/4, finely chopped
  • Water - 100 ml

Steps

  1. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add the diced chicken breast to the skillet, seasoning with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine guava paste, grated ginger, lime juice, and water. Heat over medium until the guava paste dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
  4. Once the chicken is cooked, pour the guava and ginger sauce over the chicken in the skillet, stirring to combine. Let simmer for another 3-5 minutes.
  5. Warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until pliable.
  6. To assemble, place a generous portion of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Top with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
