Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • frozen fries
Turn the oven on.
Getting the fries in the oven
  • oil
Toss the frozen fries with a little oil, which transfers heat better than air so they crisp more uniformly and faster; spread on a pan and bake in the oven.
  • 50 g mayo
  • 25 g ketchup
  • 10 g harissa
Algerian sauce: on a scale, about two parts mayo to one part ketchup -- 50 g mayo, 25 g ketchup -- and about 10 g harissa to taste; mix and taste.
Mixing the Algerian sauce
  • lemon
  • cumin
Add more harissa, a little cumin and a little lemon for brightness.
  • onion
  • mache
Add a tiny bit of very finely diced (or grated) onion; more surface area releases more flavour.
  • pickled onions
Roughly chop the mache for freshness.
  • chicken breast
  • salt
Dry brine the chicken breast with salt in the fridge for a couple of hours ahead.
  • oil
  • rosemary
  • garlic
  • flour tortillas
Heat a good amount of oil in a pan and shallow fry the chicken breast with rosemary and micro-grated garlic.
  • cheese
Grate the Comté.
Tortillas and cheese
Set the cooked chicken aside to cool.
Making cooking at home easier
  • salt
  • tomato
Toss the finished fries with a little salt.
Salting the fries and loading the tortillas
Overlap flour tortillas into a square and load with fries, chicken, cheese, tomato, greens, Algerian sauce and pickled onions; fold up.
