Tips & Hints
To pack for school lunch, ensure all the filling ingredients are cold. Heat tortilla pockets just before filling so they will not split open when filled. Wrap firmly in cling film. Serve with small containers of guacamole and mild salsa.
Baby gem lettuce is a mini cos lettuce, found in the fresh food section of your supermarket. The leaves fit perfectly inside the tortilla pockets.
