Mexican Meat Patties with Fresh Corn Salsa

Ingredients for Mexican Meat Patties with Fresh Corn Salsa

• 230g beef mince

• 230g pork mince

• 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder

• 1/2 cup coarsely chopped coriander leaves and tender stems, divided

• 2 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

• 3/4 teaspoons chilli powder, preferably chipotle, divided

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for greasing

• 2 ears corn on the cob

• 1 large tomato, chopped into 1/2" pieces

• 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped

• 1 avocado, halved, cut into 1/2" pieces

• 1 serrano chilli, seeded, finely chopped

• 45ml fresh lime juice

Process beef, pork, garlic powder, 1/4 cup coriander, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoons chilli powder in a food processor until evenly distributed and well combined, about 2 minutes. Roll mixture into 4 balls.

Rub one 16x12" piece of parchment with a little bit of oil. Place 1 ball of meat on one half of oiled paper, then fold other half over. Using a rolling pin or wine bottle, gently roll meat into a very thin oval between parchment (it should be about 9x6"). Transfer, with parchment, to a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with 3 more sheets of paper and remaining meat. Chill until ready to use.

Slice kernels off ears of corn and transfer to a large bowl. Add tomato, onion, avocado, chilli, lime juice, and remaining 1/4 cup coriander, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoons chilli powder and stir to combine. Let sit while you cook the patties.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large heavy (preferably cast-iron) skillet until smoking. Working one at a time, peel patty off greased parchment and sear until browned and crisped on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook just until cooked through, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining patties.

Top patties with corn salsa.

Do Ahead: Patties can be formed 2 days ahead. Chill in parchment on a covered rimmed baking sheet.
