Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Shred baby cos lettuce (see ingredients). 
• Finely chop tomato. 
• Drain sweetcorn. 
• Slice lime into wedges. 
• Cut chicken breast into 2cm strips. 

Crumb the chicken & char the corn
2

• To a shallow bowl, add Tex-Mex spice blend. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In a third shallow bowl, place panko breadcrumbs. 
• Dip chicken strips into the spice blend, followed by the egg and finally into the panko breadcrumbs. Transfer to a plate.
• Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Add corn kernels and cook until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Set aside in a medium bowl.


TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the kernels are ‘popping’ out. 

Cook the chicken
3

• Set air fryer to 200°C. Place crumbed chicken into a foil-lined air fryer basket and cook until golden and cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 
8-10 minutes.
• Microwave mini flourtortillas on a microwave-safe plate in 10 second bursts, until warmed through.


TIP: No air fryer? Return frying pan to medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base of the pan. Cook chicken until cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side. 

Finish & serve
4

• Slice chicken. 
• Fill your tortillas with a helping of cos lettuce, tomato, crumbed Mexi-spiced chicken and Cheddar cheese. Top with the charred corn. 
• Drizzle with Cholula hot sauce (see ingredients) and squeeze over lime to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: The Cholula hot sauce adds a perfect kick, making these tacos a huge hit with families.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to make, though some found there weren't enough panko crumbs to coat all the chicken pieces.
  • Suggestions: Adding avocado or sour cream would enhance freshness and combat dryness. Consider mixing chicken with spices before crumbing for more flavour.
  • Portions: The meal was filling, but some felt the tomato portion was too small for two people.
