Method

STEP 1

Place the red onion in a small bowl and mix in a generous pinch of salt and 1 teaspoon of the lime juice. Leave for 10 minutes, then drain out any liquid through a sieve.

STEP 2

In a large bowl add the red onion, sweetcorn, black beans, avocado, cherry tomatoes, 1 tablespoon green chilli, cumin, coriander, oil, lime zest and the rest of the lime juice (you should have at least 2 tablespoons). Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Check the seasoning and add more green chilli if you’d like it spicier.

STEP 3

Fan the lettuce leaves in a circle onto your serving plate, pile the sweetcorn mix on top and serve.
