Bake the cones for approximately 9 minutes and then when they are lightly brown stand them upside down and continue to bake for another 5 minutes. When golden brown remove from oven and let sit for a minute before removing the toothpick.

  • Halloween Tortillas with Tomato Salsa

    Ingredients





    Salsa







    Directions

    Make the Tortillas

    Preheat the oven to 200C (180C fan).

    Place your tortillas on your board, one by one. Use your cookie cutters to cut out as many shapes as you can. If you find that the tortillas are tricky to cut through, give the cutter a wiggle as you push.

    Place all of your tortilla shapes on two large, greased trays. Don’t piled them on top of each other as this will make them less likely to turn crisp.

    Spray with oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika. Add as little or as much paprika as you like – a little goes a long way.

    Bake for 5 minutes, then remove the tray from the oven and allow the tortilla chips to cool on the tray – they will turn more crisp as they cool.

    Make the Salsa

    First, you’ll need to peel the tomatoes. To do this, drop the into a pan of boiling water for 30 seconds, then fish your tomatoes out and drop them straight into a bowl of very cold water (add ice, if you have it). Once cool enough to handle, the skin should peel off easily.

    Once peeled, slice them in half and scoop out the seeds using a teaspoon.

    Chop the flesh into small pieces and pop into a bowl.

    Add the finely chopped red onion, garlic, coriander, lime juice, red wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

    Mix well, taste and season further, if needed. Transfer to a small bowl and serve with the tortillas.

    Ingredients

    Avocado Salsa







    Flautas






    Directions

    Preparing the Salsa

    Add all of the salsa ingredients to your blender and blend until smooth.

    If the salsa is too thick add water 1 tablespoon at a time until you get the consistency that you want.

    Add 1 teaspoon salt and adjust to taste.

    Cooking the Chicken

    Put your chicken breasts in a pan.

    Add just enough water to cover the chicken.

    Add a teaspoon of salt to the water.

    Turn the heat to high and bring the water to a boil.

    As soon as the water boils, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the chicken is just cooked through. About 15 minutes.

    Allow the chicken to cool to the touch.

    Cut the chicken into 1″ pieces and then shred with your fingers.

    Rolling the Flautas

    Spoon 1 tablespoon of shredded chicken onto a tortilla.

    Roll the tortilla tightly.

    Use a toothpick to keep the tortilla from unrolling.

    Frying the Flautas

    Add the 2 cups of cooking oil to a large frying pan.

    Preheat the oil to hot.

    When the oil is hot add 4 to 6 flautas to the pan. Do not crowd them.

    Turn once during cooking.

    Cook the flautas until they are crispy and golden.

    Remove the flautas and place them on a plate covered with paper to drain the grease.

    Repeat until all of the flautas cooked.

    Assembling the Flautas

    Place four cooked flautas on a plate.

    Spread a teaspoon of cream on each one.

    Spread a tablespoon of avocado salsa on each one.

    Sprinkle with shredded queso fresco and serve.
