  • 2 tablespoons Old El Paso™ Garlic & Paprika Seasoning Mix for Tacos
  • 100ml water
  • 1/2 head iceberg lettuce, torn into pieces

Preparation

  1. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the meat-free chicken pieces and fry over a low heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the taco seasoning mix and the water and cook, stirring, for a further 5-6 minutes. Remove from the heat and leave to cool about 10 minutes.

Expert Tips

  • Use any variety of lettuce for this salad or try baby spinach leaves instead.
  • For a lighter dressing drizzle with balsamic vinegar whisked with a little olive oil.
