Serves 4

Ingredients
 

For the tortilla cones:

  • 4 wholewheat burrito wraps or large tortillas
  • Spray oil or a little olive oil
  • Wooden toothpicks

For the guacamole:

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 large tomato finely diced
  • ½ red onion finely chopped
  • ½ tsp garlic powder or 1 small clove garlic minced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • ½ tsp sea salt

For the refried beans:

  • 1 x 400g tin kidney beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp ground coriander

For the fresh salsa:

  • 1 large tomato finely diced
  • ½ red onion finely chopped
  • 50 g fresh coriander chopped
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • Pinch of salt

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.
