        • Before you start, preheat oven to 200\u00b0C (or 180\u00b0C fan bake).<\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Prep capsicum. Heat oil in a large fry-pan on high heat. Cook capsicum and corn for 4-5 minutes, until starting to char. Meanwhile, prep tomato. In a medium bowl, toss capsicum, corn and tomato with vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Reserve pan.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Pat chicken dry, dice 2cm and toss with spices, salt and chilli flakes (if using). Keep plain for fussy little foodies. Season with salt and pepper.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Return reserved pan to medium-high heat with oil. Cook chicken, turning frequently, for 7-8 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from heat and stir through first measure of sour cream.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Prep pita and place on an oven tray. Cook for about 5 minutes, until warmed through. Prep lettuce. <\/span><\/div><\/li>
