Deconstructed Tortilla Salad

Serves 4

Takes 20 minutes

Light yet satisfying, this is a summer take on one of our favourite winter dishes – New York Truck Tortillas. It works well as a packed lunch, so we usually make double the amount.


2 wholemeal tortillas

4 spring onions, whites parts only, finely chopped

2 avocados, peeled and cut into chunks

½ cucumber, peeled, de-seeded and cut into thick slices

400g can black (turtle) beans, drained and rinsed

100g feta cheese, crumbled

8 mint leaves, torn

Dressing:-

4 tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil)

Juice of 1 lime

a dot of agave syrup or pinch of sugar

1 tbsp chopped dill

1 tbsp chopped mint

1 teasp finely chopped coriander stalks

1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped

1 teaspoon chipotle sauce (or smoked paprika)

salt and pepper


  • First of all, blitz together the dressing ingredients together, and adjust the chipotle and sweet/sour balance to taste

  • Mix the spring onions, avocado, black beans and cucumber with the dressing in a large bowl.

  • Cut the tortillas into 1cm strips. Dry fry in a pan until browned on all sides.

  • Divide the salad mixture between 4 plates, and top with the feta and tortillas
