Stage 4 - 4 min.
Mexican tart

Stage 5 - 3 min.
Mexican tart
Add to the red bean puree and mix well.

Check the seasoning.

Stage 6 - 3 min.
Mexican tart
Mix in a bowl: 8 tablespoons lime juice, 4 tablespoons olive oil, 20 drops Tabasco, salt and pepper.

Stage 7 - 12 min.
Mexican tart
Prepare 8 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
Arrange the slices of avocado on top, closely packed as there should be plently of it.

Stage 10 - 2 min.
Mexican tart
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.

Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour. In this recipe we use a special jam gelling agent, to reduce cooking time as much as possible .
