Tips

  • Tortillas and wraps can be high in salt. Use the Health Star Rating to choose the healthiest brand. The more stars the healthier it is. 
  • Commercial seasoning mixes can be high in sodium so check the label and look for one with the lowest amount of sodium per 100g.
  • Wholemeal tortillas provide a fibre boost. Fibre helps keep your gut healthy.  

  • Store remaining taco seasoning in an airtight container until required.
  • This is a great recipe for using up leftover cooked chicken.  
  • Use leftover avocado as a spread on crackers, toast or bread, delicious topped with sliced tomato. 

  • To save money you can use wholemeal Lebanese bread instead of tortillas. 
  • Buy ‘Odd Bunch’, ‘I’m Perfect’ or ‘Imperfect Picks’ carrots and capsicum to save money. 

Method

Step 1
To make the Healthy Taco Seasoning, mix everything together in a small bowl.

Step 2
Mash the avocado with 1 teaspoon taco seasoning in a bowl.

Step 3
Combine the chicken and the rest of the taco seasoning in a separate bowl.

Step 4
Working with 2 tortillas at a time, place in the microwave for 20 seconds on high to soften.

Step 5
Evenly spread the tortillas with the avocado mix, sprinkle with cheese, chicken, lettuce, carrot, capsicum and spring onion. Roll up tightly. Place seam side down and repeat with remaining 2 tortillas.

Food safety tip: If you are taking leftovers for lunch, fajitas need to be kept cold so pack an ice brick.
