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.
