2 tsp (10 ml) smoked chilli flakes

2 cloves garlic, crushed

Mix the olive oil, Cajun spice, chilli flakes, garlic and lemon juice together and rub the chicken breasts with this mixture. Keep to one side.

Meanwhile, heat a griddle pan, rub the corn with some oil and grill until cooked through and slightly charred on all sides, about 15 minutes. Keep to one side.

In the same griddle pan, grill the spiced chicken breasts for about 15 minutes, turning once or twice. Keep to one side and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Slice the corn off the cobs and combine with the remaining salsa ingredients in a medium bowl.

Serve the sliced chicken and salsa with warm wraps.
