Mexican Tuna Patties

Now this recipe is not new but an adaptation of this one - ThermoFun Tuna Cakes.  It came about when I had some left over mash but I just wanted something different than the normal Tuna Cakes.  So I went to my trusty spice rack and decided that a mexican twist is just what these patties needed!  Voila we have thermomix mexican tuna patties/cakes.  :)

Taking one standard dish and creating a new take on it!  I love this style of cooking!  It means that the cookbook shelves aren't overloaded with 30 different ways to make something and your pantry doesn't need to be a whole extra room!  Which means -  money in your pocket to buy more spatulas - you know you can never have too many spatulas - just ask my Funkies!  :)

Why not try your favourite ThermoFun Spice and let us know what you think!

And if you can't find a ripe avocado - then give this a try!  Tomato Chutney!  YUM! or even some Salsa!
