View the full article on guardian.co.ukMakes 4 tacos
- 1 400 g tin black beans
- 1 tsp chipotle paste
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0 black pepper
- 0.25 red cabbage
- 2 limes
- 1 400 g tin chopped tomatoes
- 1 red onion
- 2 tbsp pickled jalapeños
- 4 corn and wheat tortillas
- A few tablespoons yoghurt
- 0 Coriander
Step 1
Heat the black beans and their liquid in a pan over a medium heat.
Step 2
Add the chipotle and cinnamon, and season well.
Step 3
Simmer for seven minutes, until the beans are softened and broken down in places.
Step 4
Put the cabbage in a bowl, squeeze over the juice of one of the limes and season with a pinch of salt.
Step 5
Leave for 10 minutes (so that the cabbage turns bright purple, if using the red variety).
Step 6
Pour off half the juice from the chopped tomatoes (reserve it for pasta sauces or stews) and roughly chop in the tin with a pair of kitchen scissors.
Step 7
Mix the chopped tomatoes in a bowl with the red onion and jalapeños, and season to taste.
Step 8
Heat a dry frying pan over a high heat.
Step 9
Heat the tortillas until golden or slightly blackened (you can do this one by one, then keep them wrapped in foil).
Step 10
Put each one down flat on a plate or in a taco shape while still warm.
Step 11
Spoon in the toppings, and serve immediately with soured cream, coriander and wedges of the remaining lime.
