Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Shred baby cos lettuce (see ingredients).
• Finely chop tomato.
• Drain sweetcorn.
• Slice lime into wedges.  
• Place chicken thigh between two sheets of baking paper. Pound chicken with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are an even thickness, about 1cm.


Little cooks: Help rinse the veggies!

Crumb the chicken
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 tenderloins 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

• In a large frying pan, heat enough olive oil to coat the base over medium-high heat.
• Cook crumbed chicken in batches until golden and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. 
• Microwave mini flour tortillas on a plate in the microwave for 10-second bursts, until warmed through.


TIP: Add extra oil if needed so the schnitzel does not stick to the pan.

Finish & serve
4

• Slice chicken.
• Bring everything to the table. Fill your tacos with smokey aioli, cos lettuce, tomato, crumbed Tex-Mex chicken and Cheddar cheese. Top with charred corn.
• Squeeze over lime to serve. Enjoy!
