Instructions
Marinate the Chicken
Add garlic, chipotle peppers, yogurt, oil, and spices to a blender. Blend until smooth to create the marinade.Coat the chicken breast with the marinade and let it sit for at least 20–30 minutes for deeper flavor.
Cook the Chicken
Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken until fully cooked and slightly caramelized on the outside.Remove from the pan and slice into strips.
Prepare the Salad
In a bowl, combine chopped red onion, cucumber, parsley, lemon juice, and spices. Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce and mix well.
Assemble the Wraps
Lay a tortilla flat and spread some of the sauce in the center. Add sliced chicken and a portion of the fresh salad. Drizzle with more sauce. Fold the tortilla tightly into a wrap.
Optional Step
For extra flavor and texture, toast the wraps in a pan with a little oil until golden and crispy on the outside.
THREE CHEESE MAC AND CHEESE

Method
- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until it is still noticeably firm, about 2 minutes less than the package instructions. Drain and set aside. Do not rinse.
- In a wide, heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once foaming, add the flour and stir constantly for about 1 minute until the mixture is golden and smells slightly nutty.
- Pour in the cooking cream and heavy cream gradually, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often, until it begins to thicken slightly.
- Reduce the heat to low. Add the grated Emmental, mozzarella, and gouda in batches, stirring between each addition until fully melted and the sauce is completely smooth and glossy.
- Add salt, pepper, curry, turmeric, paprika, and roasted chicken seasoning to taste. Stir well and taste again — the sauce should be bold and well-seasoned since the pasta will absorb and dilute the flavors slightly during baking.
- Add the drained pasta directly into the cheese sauce and stir until every piece is evenly coated. The mixture should look saucier than you expect at this point — that is correct.
- Pour the mac and cheese into a large baking dish and spread it out evenly. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
- Place in a preheated oven at 180°C (355°F) and bake covered for 25 minutes until the sauce is bubbling around the edges and the pasta has absorbed the cream.
- Remove the foil and bake for a further 5 minutes until the top is lightly golden and the surface has a slight blister and color.
- Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Scoop generous portions directly from the dish and serve immediately.
