Directions
  • For the beans
  • heat a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the garlic and a splash of olive oil and cook for a minute or so
  • until the edges of the garlic begin to just brown.
  • Add the cinnamon
  • cumin and chipotle paste or chilli and stir for another minute to gently toast the spices. Add the beans and their liquid
  • bring to a simmer
  • then turn the heat down and cook for 10-15 minutes
  • until the liquid has thickened but the beans are still holding their shape. If you need to
  • add a little hot water to loosen. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
  • For the salsa
  • chop the tomatoes roughly on a big board. Pile the chilli and coriander on top
  • season with salt and pepper and chop all this together. Scrape into a big bowl
  • add the lime juice and a splash of olive oil and mix well. Set aside.
  • For the guacamole
  • mash the avocado in a bowl with a little salt and pepper
  • the chilli and lime juice. You can use a potato masher or a fork if you like.
  • Once everything is ready
  • heat your tortillas. I do this by holding them with tongs over the flame of my gas hob – its super quick and gives a delicious charred taste – but the oven will do just fine.
  • Fill the tortillas with the beans
  • salsa
  • guacamole
  • egg
  • cheese and radishes. Don’t forget the chilli sauce
  • coriander and a little yoghurt
  • if using.
