½
red onion
1 tin
chickpeas
1 cob
corn
2 clove
garlic
½ head
cos lettuce
1
tomato
½ sachet
Tex-Mex spice blend
1 sachet
tomato paste
6
mini flour tortillas
(Contains Gluten, Soy, Wheat; May be present: Milk, Soy. )
1 packet
Cheddar cheese
(Contains Milk;)
1 packet
Mojo Rojo Dressing
(Contains Milk;)
olive oil
¼ cup
rice wine vinegar
1 tsp
salt
1 tsp
sugar
20 g
butter
¾ cup
water (for the chickpeas)
Thinly slice the red onion (see ingredients). In a small bowl, combine the rice wine vinegar, the salt and sugar. Scrunch the onion in your hands, then add to the pickling liquid. Add just enough water to cover the onion and stir to coat. Set aside until serving.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Slice the kernels off the corn cob. Finely chop the garlic. Shred the cos lettuce (see ingredients). Roughly chop the tomato.
In a large frying pan, heat the butter and a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the corn and cook until browned, 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic, Tex-Mex spice blend (see ingredients) and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the chickpeas and the water and bring to a simmer. Simmer until thickened, 3 minutes.
Using a potato masher or fork, lightly mash the chickpeas until some of them have broken up and the sauce has thickened. Season to taste.
TIP: Add a splash more water if the chickpea mixture looks too thick.
Heat the mini flour tortillas in a sandwich press or on a plate in the microwave for 10 second bursts, or until warmed through.
Drain the pickled onion. Build tacos by filling each tortilla with cos lettuce, smashed chickpeas, shredded Cheddar cheese, mojo rojo dressing, tomato and pickled onions.
