Charred Tomato & Chicken Tacos

I tried out this recipe last night. Everybody loved it! It was really tasty. 

See the original recipe here:

Here is my version of the recipe to serve 4:

INGREDIENTS:
1. Tomato MEDLEY MIX 400g (you can find it in Woolworths)
2. Olive oil
3. 1kg boneless and skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
4. Salt and freshly ground pepper
5. 2 small brown onions, finely chopped (about 1.5 cups)
6. 2 teaspoons garlic paste
7. 2 jalapeno peppers seeded and chopped
8. Fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
9. Half a bunch of coriander chopped
10. 2 white globe onions
11. 8 reduced-fat torillas
12. Pura SourLite cream 

METHOD:
  1. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Place tomatoes in the skillet and turn occasionally with tongs until charred on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool slightly. Cut in half crosswise.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon of oil to the pan and heat over high heat until the oil is very hot. Add  1/2kg of chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned on all sides and no longer pink in the center.Transfer to a plate and set aside. Repeat with the other 1/2kg of chicken.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil. Add onions and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and jalapeƱos and cook, stirring, for 1 minute more. Add lime juice and the reserved chicken and tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and stir in coriander and white globe onions. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
  4. Heat up tortilla in the microwave (just follow the instruction on the packet)
  5. Spoon filling into warm tortillas, roll up and serve with sour cream.

The awesome thing is, is that per serving there are only 310 calories; 7g of fat; 68mg cholesterol; 35g carbs; over 50g of protein; and 6g of fibre.
