It’s a Canape Kind of Day

Happy Saturday everyone!! These crispy tortilla shells stuffed with tomato and avocado salsa are seriously scrumpy and exceptionally easy to make! They were inspired by a similar dish that the great British chef Lorraine Pascale made on her television show. I love and admire her! She is so talented and innovative with her food. Plus the woman is an absolute dare devil! She always cooks in a white t-shirt! Can you imagine the potential stains that white t-shirt could endure! Personally I just couldn’t tempt fate like that. In fact, the Christmas present I have asked for this year is an apron which reads ‘what’s cooking good looking’. Anyway back to these gorgeous canapes. Perfect for a light lunch or perhaps if you are hosting dinner party/murder mystery evening type shin dig. Literally only take about 20 mins to make; the recipe iiiiissssss:


Ingredients (Makes 8 shells)

  • 2 wholemeal tortilla wraps
  • 1 avocado chopped into chunks
  • Half a red onion chopped finely
  • 2 cloves of garlic chopped finely
  • 3 beef tomatoes chopped into chunks
  • Handful of chopped coriander
  • juice of 1/4 of a lime
  • pinch of salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil

Method

  • Pre heat the oven to 170c (fan)
  • Cut the tortilla wraps into quarters and place them in a muffin tray that has been brushed with a thin layer of olive oil as the picture below displays…

  • Put them in the oven to crisp up for approx 10 mins
  • While the tortilla chips are crisping up you can make your salsa filling!
  • Put the avocado, tomatoes, onion, garlic, coriander, lime jiuce, salt and pepper into a bowl and give it a good mix. It should look a little something like this…

  • If you want to give your salsa a kick you could add in some chopped chili too!
  • Finally take the tortilla shells out of the oven and fill them with salsa.

It is that simple 🙂 Hope you guys enjoy them as much as I did! 🙂
