Cooking Steps

Bake the potato wedges
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut potato into wedges.
• Place on a lined oven tray and sprinkle over half the Tex-Mex spice blend. 
Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat.
• Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes. 


TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between two trays. 
Little cooks: Help with sprinkling over the seasoning and tossing the wedges.

Make the hasselback chicken
2

• Cut deep slices, taking care to not slice all the way through, across chicken 
thigh in 1cm intervals.
• Place chicken on a second lined oven tray, sprinkle with remaining Tex-Mex 
spice blend, drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.
• Spoon enchilada sauce (see ingredients) over the chicken, then top with 
shredded Cheddar cheese.
• Bake chicken until cooked through, 12-14 minutes. 


TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it’s no longer pink inside.

Make the slaw
3

• Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber(see ingredients). Drain sweetcorn.
• In a medium bowl, combine cucumber, corn, shredded cabbage mix, the 
mayonnaise and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 


Little cooks: Kids can help combine the ingredients for the slaw!
