1.Preheat oven to 180°C.

3.Add taco seasoning, stirring well. Mix in water and corn. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Gently stir through avocado.

4.Meanwhile, arrange tacos upside-down on a baking tray. Heat in oven for 3-5 minutes following packet instructions.

You can use shredded chicken or beef mince in place of the chicken mince. If you like, use fresh corn kernels sliced raw from the cob.
