    5 Method Steps

    Put the kettle on. Fill one-third of a large saucepan with water and place over high heat. Cover and bring to the boil.
    • While the water heats up, cut tomatoes in half, slice the avocado and cut the tortillas into thin strips. Thinly slice the shallots.
    • Pour the boiling water from the kettle into the pan of hot water. Cover and return to the boil. Add the pasta and cook following packet directions for 2 minutes less than stated on the packet. Drain.
    • While the pasta cooks, add oil to a frying pan to come 1cm up the side of the pan. Heat over medium heat. Add the tortilla strips and cook for 1-2 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to drain.
    • Place the pasta, tomato, cornbeans and peppers in a large serving bowl and toss to combine. Coarsely chop coriander leaves. Add to bowl. Toss until well combined. Top with avocado, tortilla strips and a dollop of sour cream. Season and serve.
