Instructions
1 Heat oil in a large non-stick pan. While oil heats, quarter and slice onion and crush, peel and chop garlic. Add to pan and cook, stirring frequently, until soft.
2 Slice or dice chicken and add to pan. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes or until meat has lost its pink colour. Stir in spices and cook for about 1 more minute.
3 Add 1/4 cup water, tomatoes and their juice and sugar. Stir and allow mixture to come to the boil then reduce heat to a fairly gentle simmer and cook for 5-10 more minutes until all chicken pieces are cooked through and the sauce has thickened, adding the additional water if the mixture looks dry. Season with a little salt and pepper.
4 While chicken cooks, prepare the remaining ingredients: arrange them on a platter or in separate bowls so people can assemble their own burritos at the table. Heat tortillas following package instructions to serve.
