Ingredients:
For the corn:
2 sweetcorn cobsolive oil
chilli flakes
a pinch of Maldon sea salt
For the mayonnaise:
3 tbsp plant-based or normal mayonnaise2 tbsp sriracha
1 tbsp plant yoghurt
a squeeze of lemon juice
a pinch of cayenne pepper
For the filling:
2-4 soft tortillas1 ripe avocado, sliced
2 baby gem lettuces
30g fresh coriander
For the quick pickled red onion:
1 red onion, thinly sliced1 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
method:
- For the quick pickled onion, marinate the onion slices in sugar and apple cider vinegar. Don't be afraid of the sugar here as you are just marinating them quickly. Once done, set aside.
- For the mayonnaise, simply mix all of the mayonnaise ingredients together and set aside until assembly.
- Cover the corn in olive oil. Sprinkle on salt and chilli flakes, and put the cobs on the barbecue until nicely charred. Once done, set aside.
- Put your tortillas in the oven, on the grill mode, until nice and hot. Once they are warm, add baby gem lettuce, sliced avocado, and the charred corn. I find that the best way to get the corn off the cobs is to slice the corn from the sides by holding the cob tightly and slicing downwards. Add those big corn chunks to your tortillas and dollop over mayonnaise, pickled red onion and some fresh coriander. This is a super-quick and easy meal, but it’s so satisfying on all levels.
