Method
For the pulled chicken, add your thighs to a pan with 2 tbsp olive oil and cook on both sides for 5 minutes.
Add chicken stock and cover and leave to cook for a further 10 minutes, remove from pan and shred chicken with forks. Add bbq sauce and mix well.
For the tacos, place a bowl upside down on your carb-lie wrap and cut around. Remove inner circle and with left over wrap cut into pieces and put on baking tray.
Then place baking tray at the bottom of the grill and carefully place your circle wraps over the grill racks so they hang, grill for 5-7 minutes and remove both to cool.
Finely dice, all of your vegetables and add to a bowl, set aside while you make the dressing.
In a blender, add the dressing ingredients and blend until smooth.
Add the dressing to the bowl of salad and mix well.
Then add your salad, pulled turkey and nacho bites to your taco and enjoy.
