RECIPE HOW TO DO CRISPY TACOS WITH CHARRED VEG AND REFRIED BEANS

Dificulty: Easy
Portion: Serves 4
Time: Hands-on time 45 min

Ingredients

Olive oil for frying
2 corn on the cobs
250g chestnut mushrooms, sliced
200g runner beans (or helda beans), cut into 2cm piece
400g tin black beans, drained and rinsed
2-3 tbsp chipotle paste
2 tbsp soured cream
100g vegetarian feta, crumbled
8 small soft tortillas
Olive oil for brushing
1 sweet white onion, finely chopped
4 vine tomatoes, deseeded and finely chopped
Large handful fresh coriander, roughly chopped
Juice 1-2 limes

Step by step preparation

Heat a glug of oil in a frying pan and cook the corn cobs over a medium-high heat for 15 minutes or so, turning regularly, until lightly charred. Once cool, slice off the kernels into a bowl and set aside.
Add more oil to the pan and cook the mushrooms until golden but still with a bit of bite. Remove with a slotted spoon and add to the corn.
Add the runner or helda beans to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes until charred, adding more oil if needed. Return the corn and mushrooms to the pan, then reduce the heat to keep warm.
For the tacos, heat a second frying pan and brush the tortillas with a little oil. Fry on each side until crisp. Transfer to a low oven to keep warm as you cook the rest of the tortillas.
Combine all the salsa ingredients in a serving bowl.
Put the black beans in a small pan and mash lightly with the back of a fork. Stir in the chipotle paste and soured cream, bring to a simmer, then season with salt and pepper (see Make Ahead).
To serve, crumble the feta into the veg and toss gently. Spread each crispy tortilla with black beans and the vegetable/feta mix, then top with the salsa.
