| Step 2 10 mins | Heat the olive oil in a medium sized frying pan over a moderate heat. Add the onion, garlic, chilli and bay leaf. Fry gently for 10 minutes or until the onion is golden and soft. |
| Step 3 10 mins | Add the beans and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, mix well and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, discard the bay leaf, mash the bean mixture coarsely and season with salt and pepper to your taste. |
| Step 4 3 mins | Heat about 1cm deep layer of your cooking oil in a clean frying pan and fry the tortillas, one by one until browned on both side. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. |
| Step 5 5 mins | Put the tortillas side by side on a clean surface and spread a quarter of the warm bean mixture on each. Next place a quarter of the chicken on top of each tortilla, then a quarter of the lettuce, then a quarter of the beans, then a quarter of the tomatoes, avocado and sour cream. |
| Step 6 | Sprinkle the tortillas with a little paprika and serve with a hot sauce and with lime wedges for squeezing. |
