Instructions
Make the tortilla cones:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
- Cut each tortilla in half to make 8 semi-circles.
- Roll each half into a cone shape with a pointed bottom and open top. Overlap the edges slightly and secure the seam with a wooden toothpick.
- Place seam-side down on a baking tray and lightly brush or spray with oil.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Let cool slightly and remove toothpicks.
Prepare the guacamole:
- In a bowl, mash 2 avocados.
- Mix in the diced tomato, chopped red onion, garlic (powder or fresh), lime juice, and salt.
- Stir until creamy with some texture remaining.
Make the refried beans:
- In a pan over medium heat, combine kidney beans, tamari, salt, cumin, and ground coriander.
- Mash with a fork or potato masher while heating until thick and spreadable.
- Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, then remove from heat.
Mix the salsa:
- Combine diced tomato, chopped red onion, chopped coriander, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix well.
Assemble the cones:
- Spoon refried beans into the bottom of each tortilla cone.
- Add a layer of guacamole.
- Top with a spoonful of salsa.
- Serve immediately while the cones are still crisp!
Tips
- If making ahead, keep the cones and fillings separate and assemble just before serving.
- Add pickled jalapeños, shredded lettuce, or hot sauce for extra flair.
- These also work great with a smoky black bean filling or rice for a more filling cone.
Incredible. Thank you! 💚
