Ingredients

  • 300g beef schnitzel

  • 1 Tbsp paprika

  • 1 Tbsp chilli powder

  • 2 Tbsp oil

  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar

  • Grated rind of 1 lime or lemon

  • 6 tortillas

  • 1 cup hummus – can use flavoured

  • Lettuce

  • 1/2 cup whole mint leaves

  • 2 yellow peppers, sliced

  • 2 avocados, halved, peeled and sliced

Method

  1. Mix together the paprika, chilli powder, oil, brown sugar and lime or lemon rind and massage into both sides of the schnitzel.

  2. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight. Heat a heavy based frying pan with a dash of oil and cook the schnitzel for 2-3 minutes only, each side. Remove from the pan and allow to rest, then cut into thin slices.

  3. Add the peppers to the pan and cook only until they are lightly grilled, set aside. Brush the tortillas with oil and pan fry to warm through.

  4. Spread the tortillas with hummus. Scatter the lettuce, mint leaves, peppers, avocado and beef slices over the tortillas and then top with the dressing. Serve warm.

  5. To complete the dish mix the following ingredients together in a small blender until smooth. ½ cup plain yoghurt 2 Tbsp oil 8-10 mint leaves, finely sliced

Tips:

  • Want to mix it up? Choose a flavoured hummus to spread on the tortillas or add some tzatziki to the tortillas to complement the salad dressing.

FAQs:

  • How long will avocado last in the salad? Avocado will last in the salad refrigerated up to three days, but please note that the dressed salad will wilt after a few hours.

  • How do you keep the sliced avocado from browning? Squeeze a little lemon juice over your avocado to slow down the browning process.
