Instructions
1 Preheat the oven to 150°C. Finely slice the cabbage, capsicum and red onion and grate or julienne the carrot. Place in a large salad bowl. Cook the corn in the microwave for a few minutes and add to the salad. Sprinkle with chopped coriander.
2 Place the onion and garlic in a frying pan with a dash of olive oil and fry on high for a few minutes. Add the mince and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned. Add the chilli beans, tomatoes, chilli, herbs and cumin and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the mince is cooked through.
3 Halve the pitas and cut into triangles. Spray lightly with olive oil and place in the oven for 5-10 minutes until crispy, like chips. Mash the avocado in a small bowl. Add the juice and zest of the lemon and season with pepper. Mix well.
4 Serve the mince on top of the slaw with a good dollop of avocado and some pita chips.
