Soft Chicken Taco Strips

Ingredients

• 100g chicken breast
• 1/4 avocado (mashed)
• 1 small soft flour tortilla
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1/4 lime (juice only)

Method

1. 01

   Cook chicken breast in a pan with olive oil over medium heat until fully cooked through. Shred finely with two forks.

2. 02

   Mix shredded chicken with a small amount of mashed avocado and a squeeze of lime.

3. 03

   Warm a small soft flour tortilla in a dry pan for 30 seconds per side until pliable.

4. 04

   Spread the chicken and avocado mixture across the tortilla, then fold and roll tightly.

5. 05

   Slice the wrap into 1-inch finger strips and serve at room temperature.

How to offer

Fan the strips out on the high chair tray. Always supervise during mealtime. At 12 months, babies have better pincer grasp and can manage these rolls. Check tortilla is soft and pliable — never offer dry, stiff tortilla to babies.

Storage

Best served fresh. Refrigerate assembled strips for up to 1 day in an airtight container. Not recommended for freezing once assembled.

Nutrition note

Vitamins B6 and B12, iron, zinc, choline, selenium, and vitamin B3 are just a few of the elements found in chicken that babies require to survive. When taken as a whole, these nutrients support antioxidant functions, provide energy for cells, produce healthy blood, support a keen sense of taste and smell, and improve brain health.
