GRILLED CABBAGE STEAKS WITH CREAMY CHIPOTLE DRESSING

Steps:

• Prepare a grill or cast-iron grill pan for medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grill grates.
• Cut the green and red cabbage halves into 6 wedges each, about 1 inch thick, leaving the core intact. Add the cabbage wedges to a baking sheet, brush on both sides with the olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Grill the cabbage until charred and slightly softened, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer back to the baking sheet and allow to cool slightly.
• Combine the vinegar, sugar, black peppercorns, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over high heat and cook until the sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Add the onions to a small heatproof bowl and pour the vinegar mixture over the onions. Set aside until ready to use.
• Whisk together the yogurt, lime juice, chipotle in adobo sauce, honey and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl until combined.

• To make the tortillas, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Slice the tortillas into thin strips and spray them with the olive oil. Place the tortilla strips on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 4 to 5 minutes, or until crispy.
• To assemble the salad, in a mixing bowl, toss the greens with the dressing. Place a portion of the salad greens on each plate. Place 1 julienned chicken breast on top of each salad. Then spoon some of the salsa on top of salad. Finally, sprinkle each salad with the crispy tortillas.

CHARRED CORN, CHICKEN & TORTILLA SALAD WITH CHIPOTLE YOGURT DRESSING

Steps:

• Mix 1 tbsp paprika, the oregano, 1 tbsp chipotle, cinnamon, garlic, lime zest and 2 tbsp oil together in a bowl with some seasoning. Pour over the chicken thighs, turning to coat, then cover and chill for at least a few hours, or up to 24 hrs.
• Light the barbecue and let the flames die down, or heat a griddle pan over a high heat. Mix the yogurt, lime juice, the remaining oil, ½ tsp paprika, 1 tsp chipotle and the honey with a pinch of salt. Set aside. Brush the corn cobs with a little oil, then cook it and the marinated chicken on the barbecue or in the griddle pan for about 10 mins, turning often until the chicken is cooked through (it should be charred and firm to the touch - check it's done by cutting into one of the thickest pieces) and the corn is bright yellow and juicy.
• Transfer the chicken and corn to a board or plate and cover to keep warm. Arrange the lettuce, beans, tomatoes and avocado on a large platter or in a serving bowl, but wait to toss together until just before serving - this helps keep the lettuce leaves from wilting.
• Cut the wraps into strips or small pieces. Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan and fry the strips until crisp and golden, then drain on kitchen paper. Sprinkle with salt.
• Slice the cooked chicken into 1cm strips and cut the charred corn from the cob. Add to the salad, then drizzle over the dressing and any juice from the chicken and toss. Scatter over the coriander and crispy tortilla strips, and serve with the lime wedges on the side.
