SPICY BLACK BEAN AND CORN TACOS

Steps:

• Toast hazelnuts and pumpkin seeds in a medium skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 8-10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, slice corn off cobs into a large bowl (you should have about 2 cups kernels). Add toasted nuts and seeds, jalapeño, red pepper, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1/4 cup oil, 3 Tbsp. lime juice, and 1/2 tsp. salt; toss to combine.
• Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a medium skillet over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring, until onion starts to release moisture and turns translucent, 4-5 minutes. Add beans, cumin, 1/3 cup water, and remaining 3/4 tsp. salt. Cover and cook until liquid is reduced and beans soften, about 5 minutes. Uncover, add 1/3 cup water, and use the back of a fork to mash up about half of beans.
• Working one at a time, warm tortillas with tongs directly over a gas burner over medium heat, turning often, until lightly charred and puffed in spots, about 45 seconds per side. (Alternatively, wrap tortillas in foil and heat in a 350°F oven until warmed through, or wrap in damp paper towels and microwave in 20-second bursts until warm.) Transfer to a plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm.
• Whisk sour cream and remaining 2 Tbsp. lime juice in a small bowl. Fill tortillas with bean mixture, then top with corn salsa, avocado, and cilantro leaves. Drizzle with sour cream mixture and serve with lime wedges alongside.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large enameled Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion and pepper and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add the beans, cumin, paprika, guajillo chile, cayenne if using and enough water to just cover the beans and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover with the lid slightly ajar. Cook until just tender, about 1 hour, checking the water level every so often and adding more water if the mixture dries out. Stir in 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
• Add the flour and butter to a small cast-iron skillet and stir to create a paste. Cook over medium-low heat until the paste forms a golden roux, about 3 minutes.
• Remove the guajillo chile from the beans, stir in the roux and bring back to a simmer. Add the cheese and tomatoes, then continue to cook until the mixture thickens slightly, 5 to 10 minutes more. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
• For the cabbage: In a small bowl, combine the cabbage, cilantro and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
• For the tacos: To each taco shell or tortilla, add 3 to 4 tablespoons of the spicy bean filling and some avocado slices and cabbage. Drizzle with 1 to 2 teaspoons Mexican sour cream. Serve immediately.
• Roll the masa into twelve 1-ounce balls; cover them with damp paper towels.
• Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Line a tortilla press with a piece of plastic wrap or a self-sealing bag that has been cut so that only the bottom is still attached. Put one of the dough balls slightly off center in the press and close to flatten. Carefully peel the tortilla from the plastic.
• Cook in 30-second increments, turning a few times, until warmed through and lightly toasted. Keep warm wrapped in clean kitchen towels and repeat with the remaining masa, stacking and rewrapping the tortillas so that they steam and stay pliable.

SWEET CORN AND BLACK BEAN TACOS

Steps:

• To prepare the corn salad: Use a sharp chef's knife to slice the kernels off all four sides of the corn cobs. Transfer the kernels to a medium-sized mixing bowl and add the chopped cilantro, radishes, lime/zest and juice, jalapeno, olive oil, and sea salt. Mix well. Stir in 1/4 cup crumbled feta, taste, and add a little more if you'd like. Set the bowl aside to marinate while you prepare the beans.
• To prepare the black beans: Warm the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and a sprinkle of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened and are turning translucent, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add the cumin and cook for about 30 seconds while stirring. Pour in the beans and 1/3 cup water. Stir, cover and reduce heat to simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, then remove the lid and use the back of a fork to mash up about at least half of the beans. Remove from heat, season generously with salt and pepper, to taste, and cover until you're ready to serve.
• To warm the tortillas: Heat a cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium heat and warm each tortilla individually, flipping occasionally. Alternatively, you can warm them directly over a low flame on a gas range. Fold a tea towel over the warmed tortillas to keep them warm.
• Put it all together: Spread black beans down the middle of each tortilla. Top the beans with corn salad. Place a slice of avocado to the side of the beans and serve with optional pickled jalapenos, salsa, or hot sauce on the side.

SPICY BLACK BEAN AND CORN BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, garlic, jalapeno pepper, and oregano until onions are translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Cook and stir red bell pepper and corn into onion mixture until red bell pepper is tender, 2 to 4 more minutes.
• Mash black beans in a large bowl. Stir vegetable mixture, bread crumbs, chili powder, cilantro, cumin, and salt into mashed black beans. Divide mixture into 4 patties and coat both sides of each patty with flour.

BLACK BEAN AND SWEET CORN TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat and saute the red onion and garlic until softened, around 5 minutes. Add the cumin and cook for another minute. Drain the beans into a colander and rinse under cold water. Add to the pan and stir to combine with the other ingredients. Using a potato masher roughly mash the beans to bind them with the onions and garlic, but not too much, so you still retain some of the bean texture.
• Place the taco shells on a foil-lined baking sheet and put them in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes to warm.
• Meanwhile make the salad. Put all of the chopped and diced salad ingredients into a bowl. In a small bowl, mix together the mayo, lime juice and salt, using a fork. Pour over the salad and toss gently making sure everything is lightly coated in the dressing.
• When the taco shells are warm, remove them from the oven.
• Divide the bean mix evenly among the 4 tacos, top each one with a couple of slices of pickled jalapeno, a quarter of the sweet corn and a quarter of the salad and garnish with cilantro leaves. Devour.

SPICY BLACK BEAN TACOS

Steps:

• In a large frying pan, heat the oil and add the garlic. Fry until golden, then add the beans. Pour in the cider vinegar, honey and spices along with 1 tsp or more of salt, to taste. Cook until warmed through, crushing gently with the back of your wooden spoon, then set aside.
• The best way to make the guacamole is with a large stone pestle and mortar, but you can use a medium bowl and a flat-ended rolling pin instead. Crush the garlic, coriander and chilli into a rough paste. Scoop in the avocado with a little salt and crush roughly - you want it chunky, not smooth. Squeeze in the lime juice and set aside.
• Mix the salsa ingredients in a small bowl. Heat a griddle pan or steamer and quickly griddle the tortillas or steam a stack of them to warm up. Reheat the bean mixture.
• To serve, put 1-2 heaped tbsp of beans on a tortilla. Top with a big spoonful of guacamole and some salsa, hot sauce and a dollop of soured cream or yogurt.

• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add 1/2 cup cheese and the beef mixture, stir to combine well.
• Coat a deep 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray. Lay down the corn tortillas alongside the bottom and side of the pan to form a "tortilla pie crust." It helps to heat up your tortillas in the microwave for a few seconds beforehand to make them more pliable.
• Pour your beef-egg mixture in the the pie crust and spread it out evenly. Cook for 30 minutes, then remove and top with the rest of the cheese. Cook for a further 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
