Mexican Cobb Loaf
A cobb loaf with a difference! Now this is a cobb loaf you don't see at your standard everyday BBQ. We love the little kick of spice in the dip along with the crunch of the corn chips. Try using this as a fun party alternative to cheesy nachos!

Method
- Preheat the oven to 180C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

- Add the cubed cheddar (100g) to the bowl. Chop Speed 7 / 5 seconds. Set aside.
- Add the peeled and chopped onion (1), peeled garlic cloves (2) and chopped capsicum (1) to the bowl. Mix Speed 6 / 6 seconds. Scrape down sides.
- Add the taco seasoning (4 Tbsp) and olive oil (30g) to the bowl. Program 5 minutes / 110C* / Speed 2.
- While that is cooking, slice a lid off the cobb loaf (1) and remove all the bread from inside the loaf, leaving a thin bread shell. Tear the extra bread and the lid into small pieces. Set aside.
- Add the cubed cream cheese (500g), sour cream (300g), salt and pepper to the bowl. Program 5 minutes / 100C / Reverse+Speed 2.
- Add the diced tomatoes (4) and chopped fresh coriander (handful) to the bowl. Mix to combine with a spatula.
- Pour the mixture into the hollowed cobb loaf.
- Top the dip with diced avocado (1-2) and the chilli cheese mix.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes, until the bread is nice and crispy and the filling has warmed through. Add the bread pieces from the hollowed out cobb loaf to the baking tray and bake until toasted.
- Serve with toasted bread pieces and plain corn chips around the loaf to dip with.
- Enjoy!
