Instructions

1

For the guacamole, use a fork to mash everything together until smooth. Season to taste.

2

For the chicken, heat the oil in a pan over medium heat, add the chicken and sauté, 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic, Chermoula spice and paprika. Add the water and cook for a further 3 – 4 minutes. If you prefer it spicier, add more Chermoula to taste. Season with salt and pepper.

3

For the salsa, stir all the ingredients together.

4

To assemble the salad, place the chicken at the bottom of the jar. Add the salsa, then top with the guacamole and, lastly, a dollop of sour cream. Scatter over some fresh coriander and serve with a side of nachos for dipping and dunking

Notes

Keep the nachos fresh and crunchy by packing each person’s portion of nachos in a resealable bag or plastic container.
