Meanwhile, Make the Salsa:

  • Grab the coriander bunch and add the leafy bunch to the blender, a little stem is ok along with the Mint Leaves without the stem.

  • Finely slice the jalapeno and radish.
  • Wrap the tortillas in foil and place in the oven. The oven should still be warm from the chicken 
  • When the chicken has cooled, shred it with two forks.
