6 Bakers Delight White Round Rolls
3 tbsp olive oil

1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (400g) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup (60ml) beef or vegetable broth
1 cup shredded cheese
1 avocado, sliced
1/2 cup corn kernels
Fresh coriander, for garnish
Lime wedges, for serving
Corn Chips, for serving

Method

Mexican Chilli

STEP 1

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)

STEP 2

Add the ground beef to the pan and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks

STEP 3

Stir in the chilli powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the spices become fragrant

STEP 4

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

STEP 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C

STEP 2

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

STEP 3

Brush the exterior of each roll with olive oil to help them brown nicely in the oven

STEP 4

Place the hollowed-out rolls on a baking tray and bake for about 5-7 minutes, just to crisp them up lightly. Set aside

STEP 5

Once the filling is ready, spoon the mixture into each roll, filling them generously

STEP 6

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

STEP 7

Remove the mini loaves from the oven and top each one with fresh avocado slices & corn

STEP 8

Garnish with coriander, corn chips and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for added flavour
