Ingredients
Method
Mexican Chilli
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until soft and fragrant (about 3-4 minutes)
Add the ground beef to the pan and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks
Stir in the chilli powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the spices become fragrant
Add the black beans, tomato paste, and broth to the pan. Stir everything together and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and becomes cohesive. Adjust seasoning to taste
Mini Cobs
Preheat your oven to 180°C
Take your Bakers Delight Round Rolls and cut a hole in the top of each roll, hollowing out the centre to create a bowl-like shape. Make sure to leave about 1.5 cm (½ inch) of bread around the edges
Brush the exterior of each roll with olive oil to help them brown nicely in the oven
Place the hollowed-out rolls on a baking tray and bake for about 5-7 minutes, just to crisp them up lightly. Set aside
Once the filling is ready, spoon the mixture into each roll, filling them generously
Top each loaf with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese, then return them to the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted
Remove the mini loaves from the oven and top each one with fresh avocado slices & corn
Garnish with coriander, corn chips and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for added flavour
