Cooking Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut the sweet potato (unpeeled) into 1cm fries. Thinly slice the capsicum into strips. Drain the sweetcorn. Place the sweet potato onto an oven tray. Place the capsicum and corn onto a second oven tray. Drizzle both with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast until tender, 25-30 minutes.

2

While the veggies are roasting, roughly chop the tomato and coriander. Thinly slice the spring onion. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Zest the lime and cut into wedges (set 2 portions aside for lunch!). To a medium bowl, add the tomato, coriander and 1/2 the spring onion.

3

To large bowl, add the pork mince, Tex-Mex spice blend, eggs, fine breadcrumbs, garlic and the remaining spring onions. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and mix well. Using damp hands, form heaped spoonfuls of the mixture into meatballs then flatten to make 2cm thick rissoles and set aside on a plate. You should get about 4-5 rissoles per person.

4

Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with a generous drizzle of olive oil. Working in batches, add 1/2 the pork rissoles to the pan and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes each side. Set aside for lunch. Repeat with the remaining rissoles. TIP: Add extra oil if needed for the second batch. Add the enchilada sauce to the pan, turn the rissoles to coat, and simmer until the sauce is heated through, 1 minute.

5

To the tomato salsa, add the roast capsicum and corn. Add a squeeze of lime juice, a drizzle of olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Set 2 portions of salsa aside for lunch. Divide the enchilada pork rissoles, sweet potato fries and salsa between plates. Serve with the remaining lime wedges and a dollop of sour cream (reserve 100g for lunch).

6

When you're ready to pack your lunch. Roughly chop the cucumber. Divide the reserved sour cream, lime zest and juice, a drizzle of olive oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper between 2 containers. Stir to combine. Top with the slaw mix, reserved salsa, cucumber, fetta and reserved pork rissoles. Refrigerate. At lunch, remove the pork rissoles and microwave until piping hot, 2-3 minutes. Toss the salad to combine. Season to taste. Top with the rissoles. TIP: Packing the dressing on the bottom keeps the slaw crisp overnight!
