Introducing mini Mexican cob loaf rolls: epic nacho-inspired bread bowls with spiced black beans, charred corn, fresh avocado, and tortilla chips. Perfectly sized to kick off the party!
Slice off the tops of the 6 dinner rolls and pull out the insides, tearing them into large dipping pieces. Slice up the top lids into scoopable pieces as well.
For Sarah’s mexican style spice mix
Pop your 1 tsp Hungarian sweet paprika, 1 tsp ground cumin, ½ tsp celery salt, ½ tsp garlic salt, ½ tsp chilli powder, ½ tsp cayenne pepper and ½ tsp oregano into a small dish. Mix with a spoon until well combined.
For the cob filling
Place your 1 can corn into a medium saucepan, and place over medium heat. Cook for around 5 - 10 minutes, until all the moisture evaporates and the kernels begin to slightly char around the edges. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Pre-heat the oven to 200°C / 400°F (fan forced).
In the same saucepan, add the rinsed 1 can black beans and cook for 5 - 10 minutes on medium heat until the moisture has evaporated and the beans become mushy. Add in your 1 can crushed tomatoes and Mexican spice mix, then stir until heated through (around 2-4 minutes). Optional: If you’re sauce is running a little dry, add ¼ cup of water and mix through.
Switch off the heat and evenly distribute into your 6 mini cob loafs then top each with a sprinkle of the 1 ½ cups tasty cheese.
Place them onto a tray and pop into the oven. Bake until the cheese has melted, around 3 minutes. Optional: You can lay the bread inside pieces out on a lined tray and place in the oven underneath the mini cob loaves to dry and crispen up for an alternative dipping experience.
Now it’s time to layer up! Spoon in the 100 g sour cream, 100 g mild salsa, charred corn and 1 avocado into the cobs.
To serve, place a mini cob on each plate surrounded by the bread’s insides, and stick a few 100 g corn chips on the top to dip in as well.
