Ingredients.

Ingredients:

Serves 2-3 (depending on how many tacos you eat)

  • Quater red cabbage
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tsp sugar
  • Sea salt
  • Tin refried beans
  • Soft tacos
  • 2 Cobs of corn
  • Spring onions (thinly sliced)
  • Pinch chilli flakes
  • 1 Tsp ground cumin
  • 1 Large avocado
  • Fresh coriander
  • Lime
  • Kewpie mayo (optional)
  • Hot sauces of choice
02
Slice cabbage.
03
Add sugar & salt.

Method:

01.

First thing is to make your quick pickle. Slice the cabbage into a bowl. Our mandolin comes in handy here.

02.

Add the apple cider vinegar, a big pinch of salt and the sugar. Toss well and leave aside to pickle.

04
Pour in apple cider vinegar.
05
Toss well.

03.

While the cabbage is pickling, cut all the kernels off the corn cobs.

04.

Heat a fry pan on the stove and add the cumin to the pan (dry). Let the cumin become fragrant for about 1min then add about a tbsp of olive oil. 

05.

Add corn - stir well. The corn needs to char so make sure the pan is hot and you stir it regularly.

06
Cut off kernels.
07
Heat cumin.
08
Oil and cumin.
09
Mix well.

06.

While the corn is cooking, heat the refried beans in a small saucepan. We like the ones with jalapeño's in them but what ever type will do well.

Low-med heat.

07.

Next open your avocado. Scoop it all out into a bowl, add a big squeeze of lime juice, salt and chopped coriander. 

08.

Mash well.

12
Big squeeze lime juice.

09.

Once the corn has started to char and "pop" then remove from heat and pour it into a serving bowl.

10. 

Sprinkle over the spring onions, chilli flakes, a bit of coriander and a pinch of salt. Lightly toss.

 

13
Add chilli + spring onions.

12.

Remove the refried beans from stove and put in a bowl to serve from.

13.

Toss cabbage again and then put it in a serving bowl.

14.

Your final cooking step is to cook your tacos. If you don't have a gas burner then you can just heat them up in a frypan. If you do, we very carefully cook them over the flame for a few secs on either side to give them a nice char.

Make sure you are keeping a close eye on them.

Now it's time to build your taco. There's no right or wrong here. We usually go: refried bean, corn, avo, pickle, coriander, kewpie, hot sauce and lime juice. We also sometimes add cheese. 

16
Ready to serve.
17
Kewpie is our secret ingredient.
