Thinly slice the brown onion. Thinly slice the long green chilli (see ingredients list), if using. Zest the lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges. Drain and rinse the red kidney beans. Drain the sweetcorn (see ingredients list). If using the green chilli, combine the vinegar, water (for the pickle) and a good pinch of sugar and salt in a small bowl. Add the chilli and toss to coat. Set aside.
TIP: If you're not a fan of pickled chilli, feel free to use it fresh as a garnish!
Heat a medium frying pan over a high heat. When the pan is hot, add the sweetcorn and cook, tossing, until lightly charred, 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are "popping" out.
Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the onion and cook until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add the All-American spice blend and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Stir in the red kidney beans, tomato paste, BBQ sauce, water (for the sauce) and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until thickened slightly, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese over the bean mixture to melt slightly.
While the beans are cooking, add the lemon zest, a good squeeze of lemon juice, the mayonnaise, a pinch of salt and pepper and olive oil (2 tsp for 2 people / 4 tsp for 4 people) to the bowl with the charred corn. Toss to combine. Add the slaw mix and toss to coat.
Heat the mini flour tortillas in a sandwich press or on a plate in the microwave for 10 second bursts, until warmed through.
Drain the pickled chilli (if using). Bring everything to the table to serve. Build your tacos by topping the tortillas with some cheesy BBQ bean mixture, a helping of zesty slaw and some pickled chilli (if using). Serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
