Instructions
• Thinly slice red onion (see ingredients). • In a small bowl, combine rice wine vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. Scrunch the onion in your hands, then add to the pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover the onion. Set aside. • Drain and rinse chickpeas. Cut kernels off the corn cob. Finely chop garlic. Shred the cos lettuce (see ingredients). Roughly chop tomato.
• In a medium frying pan, heat butter and a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. • Cook corn, stirring, until browned, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic, Tex-Mex spice blend (see ingredients) and tomato paste. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add chickpeas and the water. Simmer until slightly thickened, 3 minutes. • Lightly mash chickpeas until some have broken up and the sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
TIP: Add a splash more water to loosen up the sauce, if needed.
• Microwave mini flour tortillas on a plate for 10 second bursts, or until warmed through.
• Drain pickled onion. • Build tacos by spreading each tortilla with some smokey aioli. Top with a helping of cos lettuce, smashed chickpea filling and chopped tomato. • Sprinkle with shredded Cheddar Cheese. Top with pickled onion. Serve with any remaining smokey aioli.
