Mexican Style Chicken 180 g (Canned)
Mortella Mexican Style Chicken is the hot item in the range — the (HOT) mark beside its English name in the catalogue says as much. The spice profile leans towards Mexican cooking, built around cumin and chilli, and the chicken is cooked with that blend before canning.
It is the most calorie-dense product in the range at 239 kcal and 15.3 g fat per 100 g, which makes it a satisfying component in carbohydrate-led plates such as tortillas and nachos. The heat is inside the product; no additional sauce is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How hot is it?
The catalogue marks the product (HOT), so it is the spicy item in the range. The heat comes from the spice blend and cannot be adjusted, so for guests who avoid chilli, Hash Chicken with Potatoes or Chicken with Creamy Sauce are the milder choices.
Can it be served cold?
It can, but spices open up with heat. Placed hot into a wrap, the flavour reads noticeably stronger.
Where else is it used besides wraps?
It can be baked over nachos with cheese, folded into a quesadilla, or served over rice as a sauce.
