I haven't actually tried this recipe. It comes from The Well-Filled Tortilla Cookbook which was a Christmas gift. I have tried several of the dishes from the book and all have been good. Now that summer is here, I can do these on the grill.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup sesame seed
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
salt
12 corn tortillas
avocado, chopped
shredded lettuce
salsa
sour cream

Directions

1
Between 2 sheets of wax paper, flatten chicken breasts 1 at a time to 1/8 inch thickness using heavy saucer or other pounding device.
2
(I use my wooden rolling pin for this.) Continue until all chicken breasts have been flattened, refrigerate until ready to cook.
3
When ready to cook, sprinkle both sides of the chicken with sesame seeds, cayenne and salt.
4
Set aside while preparing grill.
5
If using a charcoal grill, allow coals to burn until they are mostly covered with white ash and a few red spots show through here and there.
6
This should take about 40 minutes.
7
When fire is ready, place chicken on grill and cook until no longer pink but still mosit in center, about 1-1/2 minutes on each side.
8
Cut chicken into then strips.
9
Serve with warmed corn tortillas, chopped avacado, shredded lettuce, salsa, sour cream.

These were good, I made them on my indoor grill, but I felt that they needed more ingredients in them besides avacados on lettuce, I added in some sauteed bell peppers and onions. Thanks Paula, this will make a good lunch for DH!...Kitten

Paula, thanks for a great recipe! So easy to put together and wonderful to eat. I didn't measure the sesame seeds or cayenne, I just flattened the chicken, laid it out in a pan, sprinkled on the salt (I used sea salt), cayenne and sesame seeds and then laid on a hot grill. It took about 10 minutes to cook them and then we had them with the suggested toppings. We really enjoyed this, thanks for posting.

I really, really liked these and if you don't bbq them, they are so quick to make that they are just perfect for a weeknight dinner. I used my George Foreman grill to do the chicken as we didn't have the weather for a bbq. I only used the suggested fillings and loved all the fresh and 'clean' flavours, they went really well together and there weren't too many different flavours going on at the same time. Definitely a keeper! :D
