Method

  1. 1. Heat the oven to 200°C /180°C fan/400°F/Gas Mark 6. Toss the vegetables in a large roasting tin with the chipotle paste, cumin seeds and oregano. Drizzle with the oil and season well. Toss again and roast for 45-50 minutes, turning every so often.
  2. 2. To make the tortilla dough, put the flour and salt in a large bowl then add the hot water and oil and bring together to a shaggy dough with your hands. Turn out onto a work surface and quickly knead it for 5 minutes until smooth. Return to a clean but lightly oiled bowl, cover and stand for 30 minutes.
  3. 3. Add all the salsa ingredients to a bowl and toss to combine. Season to taste and set aside.
  4. 4. Add the vinegar, sugar, coriander seeds and water to a pan over a medium heat and cook until the sugar is dissolved. Add the cabbage to a bowl before pouring the vinegar liquid over and set aside.
  5. 5. Divide the dough into 12 even sized pieces and roll into balls. On a lightly floured surface, roll each one out to about 20cm. Heat a heavy based large frying pan over a medium high heat. Cook each tortilla for 1-2 minutes each side, so that they are cooked through and starting to get golden brown spots on. Keep warm in foil until you are ready to serve.
  6. 6. Toss the veggies with the coriander and tip into a warmed serving bowl. Bring to the table with the cheese, crispy onions, soured cream, salsa, tortillas and serve.
