Cooking Steps

1

• Shred cos lettuce (see ingredients). Slice cucumber into thin sticks. Set aside. • SPICY! This is a mild spice blend, but use less if you're sensitive to heat. In a shallow bowl, whisk Tex-Mex spice blend and egg. In a second shallow bowl, place panko breadcrumbs. • Dip chicken tenderloins into egg mixture and then into panko breadcrumbs. Transfer to a plate.

2

• Set your air fryer to 200°C. Place crumbed chicken into air fryer basket and cook until golden and cooked through, 8-10 minutes. Cook in batches if needed. • Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

TIP: No air fryer? Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base. When oil is hot, cook chicken until golden and cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.

3

• When chicken is done, microwave the mini flourtortillas for 10 second bursts, until warmed through.

4

• Slice crumbed chicken. • Fill tortillas with a helping of BBQ mayo, tomato salsa, lettuce, diced bacon and crumbed chicken slices. Top with cucumber and shredded Cheddar cheese to serve.
