Make the Chipotle Yoghurt by mixing all of the ingredients together well combined. Add the precooked pasta to a bowl with the sweetcorn, black beans, red pepper, red onion and around 3/4 of the Chipotle Yoghurt (reserve what’s left in the fridge), and stir it through the pasta salad. Transfer the pasta salad into one of the bento boxes.


AVOCADO QUESDILLAS
1 avocado

1/2 red onion
Juice 1/2 lime
Small handful fresh coriander, chopped

Mash the avocado and place it in a bowl with the red onion, sweetcorn, black beans, lime juice, added in a bunch of chopped fresh coriander, onion flakes, chilli flakes, salt and pepper. Give it all a really good mix together so that all of the other ingredients are mashed through the avocado. Toast the wrap in a flat pan until it becomes slightly crispy, then place on a chopping board and add the avocado quesadilla mixture to one half. Press it down using the back of a fork, then cut the wrap in half and place the plain half on top, cut it in half then half again, if any filling falls out just use the back of the knife to push it back in and neaten it up. Place the quesadilla wedges into one of the bento box containers and put the remaining Chipotle Yoghurt in the small pot.
