Method
Bean mix
- Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, chilli and capsicum and cook, stirring occasionally 3-4 minutes or until heated through.
- Add corn, kidney beans, cannellini beans and canned tomatoes, cook for a further 5 minutes, stirring until texture is soft and heated through. Fold through coriander and mint.
Guacamole
- To prepare guacamole, scrape out the avocado using a spoon (remove the stone first), mash in a plastic bowl with a fork and add a squeeze of lemon juice, this will stop avocado going brown.
Salad
- Prepare vegetables and cheese and place on a plate ready to serve.
