Heat oil in a pot and add garlic. Cook for 15-30 seconds or until fragrant.
Add oats, taco seasoning, paprika powder, lime juice, water and salt. Mix well and bring everything to a boil. Simmer for a few minutes till the oats are cooked and the mixture has thickened up. This should take 3-4 minutes. Add a little more water to reach consistency that you like.
Top with corn, salsa, grated cheddar, avocado and jalapeno. Serve hot.
Notes
You can substitute Taco seasoning with any Mexican flavoured seasoning readily available at supermarkets.
I have topped my meal with my favourites like corn salsa and avocado. You can top it with any condiments like salsa verde, proteins like - grilled chicken or prawns, chipotle dressing, guacamole etc.,
This is a very quick recipe. Do not prepare it and store it for later as oatmeal can very easily become dry and gluggy.
