Preparation
‘Tacos are a very popular street food that are also a firm favourite to have on a mains or sides menu. These mini-tacos are filled with Mexican guacamole, tomato salsa and Cream Cheese Jalapeños. The latter consists of fresh jalapeños, filled with cream cheese and coated in a deep-fried crispy crust.’
- Cut the avocados in half and remove the stone. Scoop out the flesh and mash it thoroughly either with a fork or in a blender or kitchen robot.
- Season to taste using the olive oil, lime juice and zest, some Sriracha and salt. Scoop the mixture into a piping bag and store in the fridge until use.
- For the tomato salsa, mix all of the ingredients together and season to taste with some salt as desired.
- Pour the sour cream into a piping bag and place it in the fridge along with the other preparations.
Serving
- Deep-fry the Cream Cheese Jalapeños at 175°C for about 3:30 minutes. Then allow them to rest in a warm place for a further 2 minutes.
- Warm the tortillas on a baking tray or in the microwave.
- For every tortilla, place 1 lettuce leaf in the centre, add a dollop of tomato salsa and some drops of avocado crème and sour cream on top.
- Add 2 of the Cream Cheese Jalapeños to each tortilla and fold them over in half.
- Serve them upright on a plate or in a purpose-made taco rack.
