Mexican-style sliders

Ingredients

Sweetcorn salsa

250 g cooked corn kernel
250 g cocktail tomatoes
1 diced green pepper
50 g raisins
2 - 3 tbsp finely chopped red chillies
3 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
3 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
½ tsp coarse salt

Burgers

300 g beef mince
200 g grated mozzarella
½ tsp coarse salt
12 small slider burger buns
1 ripe avocado
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
50 g finely shredded romaine lettuce lettuce
2 dl fresh coriander

Preparation

Sweetcorn salsa

Combine the sweetcorn kernels, diced tomatoes and the rest of the ingredients. Cover and refrigerate the salsa for at least 15 min. Season to taste.

Burger patties

Heat up a grill pan nice and hot. Combine the minced meat with the cheese and salt. Form the meat into 12 mini-patties (5-6 cm in diameter) and grill for approx. 2 minutes on each side.

Slice open the buns and place cut-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place a grilled patty on each top bun. Toast the buns and patties in the oven on the top rack.

Remove the skin and stones from the avocado and mash it with lime juice. Place a spoonful of mashed avocado on each toasted bottom bun. Layer lettuce, coriander leaves and a little salsa on top, then top with the burger patty and the top bun.

Serve immediately with the rest of the sweetcorn salsa.
