Tacos are always awesome. And this lunchbox regular makes them even awesomer! They’re great on a platter at a kid’s party too (and when I say kids, I mean those aged between 3 and 83).

Gluten free
Gluten-free flatbreads are always a great sub for standard flatbreads.

Dairy free
Substitute the grated cheddar with a plant- based cheddar and use a plant-based yoghurt.

Vego/vegan
You can always swap out the chicken for beans – supermarkets stock a Mexican
3-bean can, which would enhance the Mexican vibe.

Fussy eaters
Let fussy little peeps assemble their own taco to give them a sense of ‘I made my own lunch’
– this worked a treat for my former fussy little human.

Directions

You can cook these tacos in an air fryer or the oven.

If cooking in the oven, preheat to 180°C. Time to get the muffin tray from the cupboard and turn it upside down.

Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut four or five circles from each flatbread.

Fold them into a taco shape, place them in the valleys of the muffin tray and sprinkle with the smoked paprika. Smart, hey?

Pop the tray in the oven for about 8 minutes – you just want the shells to harden up enough that they maintain the shape.

Take them out and let them cool down. If using an air fryer, cook at 180°C for 4–5 minutes.

OK, now comes the assembly.

Place the cheese on the bottom of the mini taco, then add the avo, tomato, chicken, a dollop of yoghurt and a coriander leaf (if using). To finish off, squeeze a little lime juice on top.

Mark as complete

Place the mini tacos side by side in the lunchbox so that they fit nice and snug.

Pack the lunchbox inside a cooler bag with an ice block to keep the temp of the chicken below 4°C.
