Notes
- If you can’t get hold of Adobo Sauce, you can make your own here. If you can’t be bothered, you can substitute it with 7.5ml (½ tbsp) smoked paprika.
- Although fresh sweetcorn is best, feel free to use thawed, frozen sweetcorn.
- You might end up with leftover filling. Psst, it tasted pretty good on its own as well; something you can snack on later!
- If you can't get hold of avocado, try one of these avocado substitutes.
