There is always a surprising amount of leftover meat on a roast chook. Use a fork to scratch away at the carcass and this will produce a good yield of meat. Large tortillas are the ideal edible envelope to wrap up any healthy combination of goodies.
I particularly like the mix of crunchy raw vegetables — carrot, peppers, cucumber, avocado — with cooked, chopped-up leftover roast potatoes, pumpkin, kumara or corn kernels. Finish your wrap with some lettuce, any type of cheese and don't forget a good dose of sauce — mayo, aioli, relish, pickle or hummus. Get the recipe

A tasty little homemade lunch can often cause a bit of office jealously — but that’s ok. This super-healthy lunch combination using leftover steak from the weekend is a great way give you the energy to get you through Monday afternoon.
Using couscous as a base gives the flexibility of being able to put just about anything into the salad. Use your favourite nuts, seeds, fresh herbs and/or spices to give this salad your own unique flavour. Get the recipe

The French were on to it when they invented the baguette, the perfect lunch vehicle with its crunchy crust. Filling "passengers" may include absolutely anything — but for me cold meats always take the driver's seat. Thick slices of saussies from the barbecue are superb in this gourmet filled baguette — and even better with your favourite pickle or relish. Get the recipe
