Method

Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C.
Remove and unfold the Maggi cooking bag from the top of the sachet, keeping the red tie for later use. Add the peppers, chicken and the contents of the sachet into the bag. Close the bag at the end using the red tie. Mix the ingredients together by gently turning the bag and place on its side in a large, ovenproof dish, spreading out the ingredients. Do not pierce the bag. Place the dish on the bottom shelf of the oven. The bag will expand, so ensure there is enough space between the racks.
Cook for 55 mins until the bag has puffed up. Meanwhile, cut the tortilla wraps into triangles and scatter over a large baking tray. Bake in the oven for 10-12 mins until crisp and golden.
Remove the chicken from the oven and leave to stand for 3 mins before opening the bag – the steam will be very hot. Tip the mixture into the baking tray. Shred the chicken using two forks, then toss through the beans.
Serve the pulled Mexican chicken with beans with the tortilla chips for scooping.
