With La Banderita tortillas discover how simple, real ingredients can come together to create something special.

MAKE THIS WITH

Soft Taco Homestyle Jumbo

Ingredients

–

CHICKEN FILLING
–

  • 1 BBQ roast chicken, meat and some skin shredded, bones and fat discarded
  • 200ml whole egg mayonnaise
  • 2 tbs Greek-style yoghurt
  • Squeeze of lemon juice
  • 1 tbs. Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 2 stick celery, finely diced
  • 50g walnuts, chopped
  • Salt and pepper

LET'S GET STARTED

  • For the chicken filling combine all the ingredients.
  • Warm the tortillas in a pan for a few seconds one each side to make extra pliable. To build the wrap start at the bottom half of the tortilla. Portion salad leaves between each tortilla, followed by avocado and chicken mixture.
  • Fold in sides in a V-shape. Then roll and tuck in filling. Create a small pleat fold to ensure filling stays in and then finally roll over to from a cylinder with the seam side down. Eat as is or for a picnic, cut into rounds.
