- 1 tsp paprika.
- 1 tsp garlic powder.
- 1 tsp onion powder.

Method:
- First prepare the sauce. Preheat oven to 180 degrees, then chop up chillis and
capsicums. Place on a large metal tray. - Roast chilli and capsicum in oven for 20 minutes. Then, slightly before they
charring, add garlic cloves to the tray and drizzle with some olive oil and seasoning
with salt and pepper. - Roast for another 5-10 minutes until the veggies have a nice charred colour and the
garlic is soft. - Remove all ingredients from tray and place inside of a food processor or blender.
Squeeze the roasted garlic out of it’s skin, then add salt, pepper, lime juice,
coriander leaves, Spring Gully’s Elote Corn Relish. Blend together to reach
preferred consistency. Then place in a large metal bowl and whisk together with the
mayonnaise. Set aside ready for later use. - To prepare chicken mix, shred up already roasted packet chicken and place in
a large metal bowl. Then add remaining chicken mix ingredients as well as Spring
Gully’s Elote Corn Relish. Stir together and taste for seasoning. - Assemble sandwiches by spreading a serving of the sauce over the bread, then
layering a generous portion of chicken mix on top. Finally, sprinkle cheddar cheese
over the chicken and top with another slice of bread that’s already been spread with
more sauce. - Spread butter over both slices of bread, and then toast in a pan over a low
heat with the lid on for around 5 minutes on each side. - Slice the sandwiches in half and enjoy. Dip the sandwiches into the mayo if you’re
wanting more sauce.
