• 2. These need to be refrigerated for at least 1 hour, but they are spectacular if left to set overnight as they cut easier and flavors have time to blend.
• 3. When ready to serve, cut into half-inch slices and set on an attractive platter. Enjoy!

SPICY CHICKEN & AVOCADO WRAPS

Steps:

• Mix the chicken with the lime juice, chilli powder and garlic.
• Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan then fry the chicken for a couple of mins - it will cook very quickly so keep an eye on it. Meanwhile, 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, and sprinkle over the coriander. Roll up, cut in half and eat with your fingers.

DIY MEXICAN CHILLI WRAPS

Steps:

• Cook the meat. Dry fry the beef in a non-stick pan until it has changed colour all over, spooning in a little of the sauce if the meat starts to stick to the pan. Pour in the rest of the sauce, then fill the jar about one-third full with water and rinse it out into the pan. Bring to the boil, then let it bubble away for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Do the tortillas. Heat the tortillas in the microwave according to the packet instructions (or dry fry them singly in a frying pan for 1 minute on each side). At the same time, drain and rinse the beans and tip them into the meat. Stir well and heat through for about 5 minutes until the beans are hot and the meat sauce is thick (if it's too runny it will ooze out of the wraps when you eat them).
• Serve up. Pile the tortillas on a plate and let everyone make their own wraps. The best way to do this is to spread the tortilla with some soured cream, then spoon the meat and some salad in the centre. Now fold up the side of the tortilla nearest to you, and fold in the sides to enclose the filling.

MEXICAN LETTUCE WRAPS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first 11 ingredients. Refrigerate until serving., Just before serving, stir in avocado. Place 1/2 cup chicken mixture on each lettuce leaf; top each with 2 teaspoons sour cream. Fold lettuce over filling.

SIMPLE SWEET AND SPICY CHICKEN WRAPS

Steps:

• Mix together the mayonnaise, cucumber, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and black pepper in a bowl until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet on medium-high heat, and cook and stir the chicken breast strips until they are beginning to turn golden and are no longer pink in the middle, about 8 minutes. Stir in the salsa, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have blended, about 5 minutes.
• Stack the tortillas, 4 at a time, in a microwave oven and heat until warm and pliable, 20 to 30 seconds per batch.
• Spread each tortilla with 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise-cucumber mixture, top with a layer of baby spinach leaves, and arrange about 1/2 cup of chicken mixture on the spinach leaves.
• Fold the bottom of each tortilla up about 2 inches, and start rolling the burrito from the right side. When the burrito is half-rolled, fold the top of the tortilla down, enclosing the filling, and continue rolling to make a tight, compact cylinder.
