Method

  1. For the tinga sauce, heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and fry gently for 5 mins until softened. Add the garlic and chipotle paste, stir well and cook for another 5-6 mins until fragrant. Add the grated tomato, season to taste, then simmer for 10 mins until the liquid reduces and the mixture thickens to a rich sauce.
  2. Meanwhile, in a separate frying pan, heat the remaining oil over a high heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté, seasoning with the Worcester sauce or tamari, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 2-3 mins until they have taken on some colour. Add the sautéed mushrooms to the tinga sauce and stir to combine, then remove the pan from the heat.
  3. Warm the refried beans in a pan, then set aside. Heat the tortillas for 1 min either side in a nonstick pan, then wrap in a tea towel to keep warm.
  4. Top the warm tortillas with a spoonful of the beans, followed by the pulled mushrooms. Crumble the salad cheese on top, garnish with the coriander and serve with the lime wedges.

*To make this vegetarian, use tamari.
