Ingredients
- Olive oil for frying
- 2 corn on the cobs
- 250g chestnut mushrooms, sliced
- 200g runner beans (or helda beans), cut into 2cm piece
- 400g tin black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2-3 tbsp chipotle paste
- 2 tbsp soured cream
- 100g vegetarian feta, crumbled
For the crispy tacos
- 8 small soft tortillas
- Olive oil for brushing
For the salsa
- 1 sweet white onion, finely chopped
- 4 vine tomatoes, deseeded and finely chopped
- Large handful fresh coriander, roughly chopped
- Juice 1-2 limes
Method
- Heat a glug of oil in a frying pan and cook the corn cobs over a medium-high heat for 15 minutes or so, turning regularly, until lightly charred. Once cool, slice off the kernels into a bowl and set aside.
- Add more oil to the pan and cook the mushrooms until golden but still with a bit of bite. Remove with a slotted spoon and add to the corn.
- Add the runner or helda beans to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes until charred, adding more oil if needed. Return the corn and mushrooms to the pan, then reduce the heat to keep warm.
- For the tacos, heat a second frying pan and brush the tortillas with a little oil. Fry on each side until crisp. Transfer to a low oven to keep warm as you cook the rest of the tortillas.
- Combine all the salsa ingredients in a serving bowl.
- Put the black beans in a small pan and mash lightly with the back of a fork. Stir in the chipotle paste and soured cream, bring to a simmer, then season with salt and pepper (see Make Ahead).
- To serve, crumble the feta into the veg and toss gently. Spread each crispy tortilla with black beans and the vegetable/feta mix, then top with the salsa.

Try with any seasonal charred veg, and griddled halloumi instead of feta.
Make toppings and salsa up to 3 hours ahead. Reheat the black beans and veg to serve.
