Cooking Steps

Bake the potato wedges
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut potato into wedges. • SPICY! This is a mild spice blend, but use less if you're sensitive to heat! 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.

Make the hasselback chicken & cook the halloumi
2

• Cut halloumi into 1cm-thick slices. • Return frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook halloumi until golden brown, 1-2 minutes each side. Transfer to a plate. • 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 celery. Drain sweetcorn. • In a medium bowl, combine celery, corn, shredded cabbage mix, mayonnaise and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste. Little cooks: Kids can help combine the ingredients for the slaw!
