    1 To make salad, wash leafy salad vegetables and place with celery in a large bowl. Add corn.

    2 To make salad dressing, whisk salad dressing ingredients together and add to salad at the last minute.

    3 To make Mexican scrambled eggs, spray a non-stick frying pan with oil. Add onion, capsicum and garlic and fry until soft.

    4 Add tomatoes and chilli powder. Simmer for 5 minutes or until sauce has reduced a little. Remove from pan.

    5 In a bowl mix together eggs, milk, cheese, salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture in frying pan and mix gently as it cooks — for about 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat and add tomato mixture.

    6 Heat tortillas in microwave for 15 seconds. Divide scrambled eggs between tortillas, roll up and cut in half. Serve with salad.
