budget lunch

Pan-fry vegetarian, chicken-style pieces with lime, chilli and garlic, then pile onto seeded tortilla wraps - cool before assembling if packing for lunch

Spicy avocado wraps

generous squeeze juice 0.5 lime

½ tsp mild chilli powder

garlic

olive oil

wraps

avocado

red pepper

coriander

Mix the vegetarian, chicken-style pieces with the lime juice, chilli powder and garlic.

Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan then fry the pieces for a couple of mins, while you warm the wraps following the pack instructions or if you have a gas hob, heat them over the flame to slightly char them. Do not let them dry out or they are difficult to roll.

Squash half an avocado onto each wrap, add the peppers to the pan to warm them through then pile onto the wraps with the chicken-style pieces, and sprinkle over the coriander. Roll up, cut in half and eat with your fingers.
