Mexican Meat Patties with Fresh Corn Salsa

These Mexican meat patties offer a vibrant twist on a classic burger, focusing on punchy spices and fresh textures rather than heavy sauces. By blending minced beef and pork with chipotle chilli and garlic, you create a savoury, thin patty that sears quickly to achieve a crisp, caramelised finish. This diabetes-friendly dish prioritises lean protein and healthy fats, making it a nutritious choice for a satisfying midweek dinner that doesn't compromise on bold, smoky flavours.

The star of the plate is the colourful corn salsa, which provides a refreshing contrast to the spiced meat. Packed with creamy avocado, juicy tomatoes and zesty lime, it adds a wealth of vitamins and fibre to your meal. You can easily prepare the patties up to two days in advance, leaving you with a quick and healthy homemade option for those busy evenings when you want something fresh and filling.

Ingredients for Mexican Meat Patties with Fresh Corn Salsa

  • 230g de carne picada de res

  • 230g de carne de cerdo picada

  • 1/2 cucharadita de ajo en polvo

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

  • 2 1/4 cucharaditas de sal kosher, divididas

  • 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 de jugo de lima fresco

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.
