MEXICAN CHILLI, CORN AND BREAD FRITTERS WITH GUACAMOLE



Packed with fabulous Mexican flavours, these fritters make a wonderful anytime snack. A dollop of guacamole made with our NEW Cape Herb & Spice Smashed Avo Seasoning really makes them zing. Add a green salad and it’s a perfect light lunch too.
- WHAT YOU WILL NEED -
- FOR THE FRITTERS
- 1 x 400g tin corn, drained
- 1 x 400g tin red kidney beans, drained and rinsed in a colander
- 3 green chillies, finely chopped
- 1 red pepper, cut into small cubes
- ½ tsp salt
- 1½ tsp ground cumin
- FOR THE GUACAMOLE
- 3 eggs
- 2 avocadoes, mashed with the back of a fork
- 1 cup self-raising flour
- ¼ cup red onion, very finely diced
- 1 cup grated extra mature cheddar cheese
- 1 large tomato, deseeded and finely diced
- 2 spring onions, white parts only, finely sliced
- juice of one lime
- large handful (a 20g punnet) of fresh coriander, finely chopped
- 2 tsp Cape Herb & Spice Smashed Avo Seasoning
- METHOD -
Mix all the guacamole ingredients together, cover surface with cling film to prevent discolouring and set aside so the flavours can infuse.
Mix all the fritter ingredients together. Heat a large non-stick pan with a drizzle of vegetable oil. Spoon dollops of fritter mix into the pan and flatten with the back of a spoon to form fritters. Fry over low heat until golden before flipping over. (NB: if the heat is too high, the fritters will brown too quickly on the outside and not have a chance to cook through).
