Directions
-
Step 1
Add the oil and onion to a large fry pan over high heat and saute for 2 minutes or until softened. Reduce the heat to medium, add all the spices and saute for 1 minute until they are fragrant. Add the black beans and saute until the beans have softened. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
-
Step 2
Heat another large fry pan or barbeque to high. Cook the corn on the pan or barbeque, turning them frequently for about 10 minutes until the corn turns a deep golden colour with a few charred patches. When the corn has cooled, use a serrated knife to slice off the kernels.
-
Step 3
To make the guacamole, scoop the flesh of the avocado into a medium bowl. Add the lemon and chopped coriander. Use a fork to smash everything until it forms a chunky paste.
-
Step 4
To make the dressing, add all ingredients to a small bowl and mix until combined.
-
Step 5
Divide the black beans, corn kernels, guacamole, cherry tomatoes and lettuce (whole leaves or chopped) into 4 bowls. Top with the dressing and corn chips and serve immediately.
