BAKED POTATO
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Line a baking tray with tinfoil and lightly grease. Cut the rinsed potato in half lengthways – don’t remove the skin! Coat in oil, season, and place on the tray, cut-side down. Bake in the hot oven until the flesh is soft and the skin is crispy, 30-35 minutes.
PREP STEP
Peel and roughly dice ½ the onion. Rinse and roughly shred the salad leaves. Rinse and pick the coriander. Trim, de-seed, and finely slice the chilli.
CORN
Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the corn until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
MINCE
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add ¾ of the diced onion and fry until soft, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Fry until browned, 4-5 minutes.
SAUCE
When the mince is browned, add the Mexican tomato paste and ½ the sliced chilli (to taste) to the pan. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Pour in 75ml of water. Simmer until the water has almost all evaporated, 3-4 minutes. Season with a sweetener, salt, and pepper.
SALAD
In a bowl, combine the shredded salad leaves, the charred corn, the remaining onion (to taste), a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
ALL DONE!
Plate up the baked potato. Top each half with the Mexican mince, a dollop of the yoghurt, and a sprinkle of the remaining chilli (to taste). Side with the corn salad. Sprinkle over the picked coriander and have a fiesta, Chef!
