Method
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
