These meals are simple, quick and full of flavour — perfect for two people cooking side by side or surprising someone with a proper plate.

From wraps to traybakes, these are easy wins using the rubs you’ve already got in your cupboard.

🥙 1. Al Pastor Chicken Tacos

Quick-cook chicken strips, tossed with Al Pastor and cooked hot and fast on a griddle or in the air fryer.

Serve with lime slaw and sour cream in warm tortillas. Dinner = done.

🍗 2. Wingman Tenders + Wedges

Slice chicken breast into tenders, coat in Wingman and air fry until crisp.

Serve with SPG potato wedges or a loaded green salad for balance.

🧀 3. Greek Odyssey Halloumi Wraps

Grill thick-cut halloumi and pair with roasted Mediterranean-style veg tossed in Greek Odyssey.

Stuff into wraps with tzatziki, garlic mayo or fresh herbs for a meat-free winner.

🥩 4. SPG Steak + Mojo Veg Bowl

Pan-sear or reverse-sear a steak with SPG for that perfect crust.

Roast seasonal veg with Miami Mojo and build into a warm bowl with rice or grains.

🧄 5. Spitfire Mac & Cheese

Stir Spitfire into your cheese sauce or dust on top before baking for a spiced-up twist.

Crispy edges, molten middle — share from the tray or serve in bowls with hot sauce on the side.
