Recipe Details

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan forced. Cut the top from the cob loaf and scoop the soft bread out of the centre, leaving a 2-3cm shell (scoop any soft bread from the lid also). Place the cob on a baking tray. Bake the shell for 10-15 minutes or until crisp.

Step 2

Meanwhile, cook the mince in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat until meat changes colour, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up any lumps. Add the spice mix and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the tomato and 2 tbs of water. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Stir through the beans and chillies, if using. Season well with pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

To make the con queso dip, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the shallot and garlic. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the flour and cook, stirring for 30 seconds. Remove from heat and gradually stir in the cooking cream. Return to the heat. Cook, stirring over medium-low heat until the mixture boils and thickens. Stir in the jalapenos and half of both the tomato and cheese
