Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Make a salsa. Heat a griddle or frying pan over a medium heat. Add ½ tsp oil and the sweetcorn and griddle for 8-10 mins, turning frequently, until tender and beginning to char; set aside to cool. Transfer to a bowl and toss with the tomatoes, onion, most of the coriander and the lime juice. Season and set aside.
- Tip the tortilla triangles into a large bowl. Drizzle over 1 tsp oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle over half the paprika, season with salt and toss to coat again. Arrange on a large, lined baking sheet and bake for 6-8 mins until crisp and golden. Set aside to cool. Heat the rice and quinoa mix to pack instructions.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tsp oil in a large nonstick frying pan over a medium heat. Soften the white part of the spring onions for 1 min. Add the cumin and remaining paprika, and cook for 1 min more. Add the tofu scramble and black beans, and heat through for 2 mins. Remove from the heat and stir through the green spring onions.
- Divide the rice and quinoa mixture between 4 bowls. Top with the shredded lettuce, corn salsa, tofu mix, tortilla chips and remaining coriander. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
