Ingredients Method

Ingredients

2 jalapeño chillies
½ red onion, cut into ½cm dice
50g coriander, very finely chopped
4 tbsp fresh lime juice
3¼ tsp fine sea salt
1 large cauliflower, cut into small florets
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 2.5cm pieces
5 tbsp rapeseed oil
3 tsp chipotle flakes
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 400g tin black beans
12 small tortilla wraps

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 220°C/200°Cfan/gas 7. To make the salsa, use tongs to hold one of the chillies over a small gas flame until well charred. Put on a plate to cool and repeat with the other chilli. (If you don’t have an open flame, grill them instead).

Step 2

Put the onion, coriander, lime juice and ¾ tsp salt in a bowl. Once the chillies have cooled, finely chop and mix into the salsa. Taste and adjust if need be.

Step 3

Line two large baking trays with baking paper. Place the cauliflower and sweet potato in a large bowl, add the oil, 2 tsp chipotle flakes, cinnamon and 2 tsp salt, and toss with your hands to coat. Transfer to the trays, spread out in a single layer and roast for 35 mins, until tender and slightly charred.

Step 4

While the vegetables roast, make the purée. Drain the tin of beans, reserving the liquid, then use a stick blender to blend 4 tbsp with the beans, remaining 1 tsp chipotle and ½ tsp salt, until smooth. Set aside in a small bowl.

Step 5

When your vegetables are almost ready, heat the tortillas following packet instructions. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl and put on the table with the salsa, purée and tortillas, ready to build the tacos.
