How the estimates work

In the kitchen

How to make it.

  1. Thinly slice the pepper and cucumber. Finely chop the chilli and garlic; remove chilli seeds if you prefer less heat.
  2. Mix the honey, half the lime juice, soy sauce and garlic. Stir the remaining lime into the yoghurt.
  3. Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the cooked chicken and pepper with a splash of water, then heat thoroughly. Only reheat chicken once.
  4. Add the honey mixture and chilli. Toss over a medium heat for one to two minutes until glossy; do not let the honey burn.
  5. Warm the tortillas according to the pack. Spread with lime yoghurt, add chicken and cucumber, and divide into 2 portions.

Fit it around your training.

Why this combination?

The sweet, sour and salty glaze brings flavour without a long marinade. Tortillas provide carbohydrate and chicken supplies protein; the cucumber keeps the filling fresh.

When it could work for you

A satisfying lunch or dinner after training. Spicy food immediately before a run may not suit your stomach.

Plan food before, during & after your run

Storage & leftovers.

Best assembled just before eating. Keep cold ingredients refrigerated and follow the earliest use-by date. Do not save reheated chicken for another reheating.
