200g leftover roast chicken

4 pitta breads

60g watercress

1 Mango, diced

½ red onion, sliced

½ green pepper, sliced

1 garlic clove

10g Coriander

10g Parsley

10g Watercress

1 tsp white wine vinegar

Method:

  1. For the guasacaca, use a food processor to blend all the ingredients together into a fragrant, thick salsa. Use more or less oil to reach your desired consistency.
