Salsa:
400g red and yellow cherry tomatoes, chopped
20g (a handful) fresh coriander, chopped
1-2 red chillies, finely chopped
Juice of 2-3 limes

3 peppers (any colour), deseeded and sliced
1 ½ large red onions, finely sliced

1 heaped tsp smoked paprika

Make the salsa by mixing together the tomatoes, coriander, half the chillies and a good squeeze of lime juice, reserving the remainder for serving.

Place a non stick frying pan over a high heat and add the peppers, onion and mushrooms. Add a little water if needed and stir fry for 3 - 4 minutes.
Add in the thyme, pepper, remaining chilli, paprika and cumin seeds and fry for another minute to cook the spices. Remove and keep warm.

Place the cooked chicken, peppers, salsa, lettuce leaves and natural yoghurt to the table and let everyone help themselves by filling with chicken, a squeeze of lime juice, peppers, natural fat free yoghurt and salsa.
