Ingredients

  • 300 g skinless salmon portions
  • 420 g can no added salt pinto beans or red kidney beans
  • 312 g packet (12) white corn tortillas, warmed
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun spice blend
  • 2 tablespoons tomato salsa
  • 100 g reduced fat feta cheese, crumbled
  • Lime wedges, to serve

Pineapple salsa

  • 1 cup (150 g) finely chopped fresh pineapple
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 red capsicum, finely chopped
  • ½ cup coarsely chopped fresh coriander, plus extra leaves to serve

Method

Step 1

To make pineapple salsa, combine all salsa ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and set aside.

Step 2

Dust salmon all over with spice mix. Heat a lightly oiled, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add salmon. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until evenly browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.

Step 3

Using 2 forks, break salmon into flakes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, stir beans and salsa in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot. Remove from heat. Coarsely mash with a fork.

Step 5

Spread warm tortillas with mashed beans, top with flaked salmon, pineapple salsa and extra coriander leaves. Sprinkle with feta. Squeeze over lime and fold in half to serve.

Tips

  • Check the labels on the spice blend and choose the brand lowest in sodium. Replace Cajun blend with Mexican chilli spice blend, if preferred.
  • Pinto beans can be replaced with no added salt canned red kidney beans, if preferred.
  • Refer to packet for tortilla heating instructions.
