Light yet satisfying, this is a summer take on one of our favourite winter dishes – New York Truck Tortillas. It works well as a packed lunch, so we usually make double the amount. The feta is great, but this is a fantastic and nutritious meal without it.
2 wholemeal tortillas
4 spring onions, whites parts only, finely chopped
2 avocados, peeled and cut into chunks
1 small courgette, thinly sliced
a light oil for frying
400g can black (turtle) beans, drained and rinsed
100g feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
8 mint leaves, torn
Dressing:-
4 tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil)
Juice of 1 lime
a dot of agave syrup or pinch of sugar
1 tbsp chopped dill
1 tbsp chopped mint
1 teasp finely chopped coriander stalks
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
1 teaspoon chipotle sauce (or smoked paprika)
salt and pepper
First of all, blitz together the dressing ingredients together, and adjust the chipotle and sweet/sour balance to taste
Pan fry the courgettes in a small amount of oil until coloured on both sides. Keep the pan for later.
Mix the spring onions, avocado, black beans and courgette with the dressing in a large bowl.
Cut the tortillas into 1cm strips. In the frying pan used earlier, fry in a pan until browned on all sides.
Divide the salad mixture between 4 plates, and top with the feta (if using) and tortillas
