Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Heat ½ tbsp oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Fry half the onions for 5 mins, then add the garlic and fry for 1 min. Add the beans and fry for 3 mins. Remove from the heat and roughly mash. Cover and set aside.
  2. Mix the tomatoes, cucumber, lime juice and remaining onion in a bowl. Season and set aside.
  3. Heat a griddle or frying pan over a high heat. Once hot, add the corn cobettes and griddle for about 10 mins, turning regularly, until charred on all sides.
  4. Meanwhile, brush the tortillas with ½ tbsp oil. Spread out in a single layer on 2 large baking trays, then bake for 5-7 mins until crisp.
  5. Spread the bean mix over the base of each tortilla. Flake over the tuna, then top with the salsa. Scatter over the basil leaves and serve with the corn and lime wedges.
