Apple taco cups
Ingredients
1 tbs Mexican seasoning
2 chicken breast fillets, trimmed
1 tbs olive oil
1 corn cob, kernels removed
8 apples
1/3 cup whole egg mayonnaise
1 tbs chipotle in adobo sauce
1/3 cup crushed corn chips
1 large avocado, mashed
Method
- Sprinkle the seasoning over both sides of the chicken. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken, cook 6-7 minutes each side or until just cooked through. Remove to a plate, cover and stand 10 minutes. Add the corn to the warm pan, cook 1 minute. Set aside to cool.
- Combine the mayonnaise and chipotle in a bowl. Shred the chicken and add to the mayonnaise with the corn and corn chips. Mix well.
- Cut 1cm top off each apple. Set the tops aside. Core the apples, leaving a little in the base. Using a teaspoon carefully remove the apple flesh to halfway forming a well and leave 1/2cm border. Finely chop 1/3 cup of the removed apple flesh and stir into the chicken mixture.
- Spoon the chicken mixture into the apples. Top with a dollop of mashed avocado and return the apple lid.
Granny Smith, Pink Lady®, Red Delicious, Jazz™, Fuji, Kanzi™ and Royal Gala are best for this recipe
