How to make it
- Cut the chicken into thin finger like strips and place in a bowl with the oregano, cumin, salt and freshly ground black pepper and toss to coat. Heat 1/2 the oil in a large frypan add onions, celery and garlic. Cook 3-4 minutes, add sun-dried tomatoes and mushrooms and cook for a further 3 minutes.
- Remove the mixture and set aside.
- Heat second remaining oil and stir-fry chicken for 2-3 minutes until cooked through -you may need to do this in 2-3 batches, to keep it golden and fried, not overcrowded and potentially stewed. Mix the cooked chicken with the mushroom mix, the chopped coriander, 1 1/2 cups of the cheese, and the lemon juice, season and mix well.
- Divide the mixture between tortillas and roll up. Place seam side down in an oil sprayed baking dish, then sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese. Cook at 180°Celsius for 25-30 minutes until golden and bubbling. Spoon over the salsa verde and garnish with extra basil leaves.

- salt and freshly ground black pepper
