Add to the red bean puree and mix well.

Check the seasoning.

Stage 6 - 3 min.
Mexican tart
Mix in a bowl: 4 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 10 drops Tabasco, salt and pepper.

Stage 7 - 12 min.
Mexican tart
Prepare 4 avocados and slice. Put in a salad bowl and drizzle the lime juice and oil mixture over.

Mix very gently, as the avocado slices are fragile and tend to break up easily.

Stage 8 - 3 min.
Mexican tart
Sit the cooled tart case on its serving plate and fill with the red bean purée in a thick, even layer.

Stage 9 - 7 min.
Mexican tart

Stage 10 - 2 min.

Dip a brush in the leftover lime dressing and brush this over the top to give an attractive shine to the tart.

Stage 11
Mexican tart
Finish with a little coarsly chopped coriander. Your Mexican tart is ready.
Remarks
The Tabasco sauce in stage 6 is not absolutely essentail, but it really does pep up the flavour.

Similarly, though it is more Mediterranean than South American, you can use puréed chick peas.
Keeping: 2 days at most in the fridge.
