Tips

Method

Step 1
Preheat oven to 200°C.

Step 2
Brush 1 side of each pita pocket with oil and sprinkle with paprika.

Step 3
Cut each pocket into 8 triangles. Place on a large baking tray in a single layer.

Step 4
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until crisp. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Step 5
Starting with the salsa, layer the ingredients evenly into 4 containers, finishing with the coriander and pita crisps.


Serving suggestion:

  • Add our guacamole or chopped avocado as a change. 
  • If packing for lunch, pack salad in a clear plastic container with pita chips packed separately to keep them crisp.  

Food safety tip: If you are packing leftovers for lunch, the nachos needs to be kept cold so pack an ice brick.
