How To Make It
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 tablespoon harissa, juice of 1 lime, 1 teaspoon olive oil, and some salt and pepper. Toss chicken in the mixture to coat well.
- In an oven-safe skillet, sear chicken lightly over medium-high flame. Transfer chicken to oven and bake chicken until fully cooked, about 10 minutes.
- For the tortillas: In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon oil, cumin and salt and pepper. Brush the mixture on tortillas and cut tortillas into 6 pieces each. Transfer pieces to a baking sheet and bake until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- For the slaw: Combine red cabbage, green cabbage, avocados, red and yellow bell peppers, 1 teaspoon honey, rice vinegar, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, juice of 1 lime and 1 teaspoon ground cumin in a bowl. Mix thoroughly and season with salt and pepper.
- For the salsa: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Blanch the tomatillos. Transfer tomatillos to a blender or food processor and add 1 teaspoon harissa, garlic, juice of 1 lime, cilantro, onion and a pinch each of salt and pepper – puree until just smooth. Add honey to taste if salsa is really tart.
- Serve slaw on romaine lettuce leaf, topped with a fourth of the chicken breast. Serve tortilla chips and salsa on the side.
