SPICE IT UP
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place a pan (with a lid) over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry ¾ of the diced onion until soft, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the drained beans, 50ml of water, and the NOMU spice blend. Cover and simmer until the beans have softened slightly, 5-7 minutes. Remove from the heat, season, and add the chopped walnuts.
GET THE BEANS ROLLING
Place the rotis in a single layer on a chopping board. Place 2-3 tbsp of the refined bean mixture down the centre of each roti in a straight line (you may have some filling left over!). Roll up each roti tightly so that it resembles a cylinder with the filling inside. Place on a baking tray in a single layer, fold-side down. Pop in the oven and bake until golden and starting to crisp, 10-12 minutes.
CHAR THE CORN
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the corn until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
RELISH THE RELISH
In a small bowl, combine the cashew cream cheese, the jalapeño relish (to taste), and seasoning.
RAINBOW SALSA
In a bowl, combine the diced cucumber, the diced tomatoes, the charred corn, ½ the chopped chives, the remaining onion, the lemon juice, and seasoning. Mix until fully combined.
BUEN PROVECHO!
Pile up the refined bean taquitos. Side with the charred corn salad. Serve with the jalapeño cashew cream for dunking. Side with any remaining filling. Sprinkle over the remaining chives. Well done, Chef!
