  1. CARAMELISATION STATION

    Place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced onion for 7-9 minutes until soft, browned and caramelised, shifting occasionally. At the halfway mark, add a sweetener of choice (to taste) to caramelise it further. Remove from the pan on completion and cover to keep warm.

  2. SOME PREP

    Loosen the chimichurri with a drizzle of olive oil. Season the guacamole with the lime juice (to taste) and some salt and pepper. In a bowl, toss the diced tomatoes, a drizzle of olive oil, the red wine vinegar, and seasoning. Set aside to marinate.

  3. GOLDEN CHORIZO

    Place a pan over a medium heat with a small drizzle of oil. When hot, add the chorizo slices and fry for 1-2 minutes per side, until browned. Remove from the pan and drain on some paper towel.

  4. CHARRED CORN

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat with another drizzle of oil, if necessary. When hot, add the corn and fry for 3-4 minutes until starting to char.

  5. FANTASTACOS!

    Place the tortillas on a microwavable plate and sprinkle with droplets of water. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. (If you don’t have a microwave, you can skip this step – it helps to get the perfect texture, but isn’t essential!) Wipe down the pan and return it to a medium heat. When hot, dry toast the microwaved tortillas for 15 seconds per side until warmed through and lightly crisped. Once heated, stack under a dry tea towel to stop them from getting cold or drying out.

  6. FIESTA!

    Lay out the warm tortillas, and smear on the limey guacamole. Top with the shredded green leaves, the marinated tomatoes, the caramelised onions, the charred corn, and the golden chorizo. Drizzle over the loosened chimichurri and sprinkle on the chopped coriander, and the chopped jalapeños. If you have any remaining filling, toss together and serve on the side! Well done, Chef!
