1
onion
3 clove
garlic
½ tin

1
tomato
1 bunch
coriander
6
Mini Flour Tortillas
(Contains: Gluten(Wheat); )
1 packet
tomato paste
½ sachet
Tex-Mex spice blend
1 packet
BBQ Marinated Jackfruit
(May be present: Peanuts. )
1 packet
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
(Contains: Milk; )
1 packet
sour cream
(Contains: Milk; )
olive oil
¼ cup
rice wine vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
⅓ cup
water
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Cut the red onion in half. Thinly slice 1/2 the onion, then finely chop the remaining onion. Finely chop the garlic. Drain the sweetcorn (see ingredients). In a small bowl, combine the rice wine vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. Scrunch the sliced onion in your hands, then add to the pickling liquid. Add just enough water to cover the onion and stir to coat. Set aside until serving.
Heat a large frying pan over a high heat. Cook the sweetcorn until lightly charred, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. While the corn is charring, finely chop the tomato and coriander. Add the tomato, coriander and some pickling liquid (2 tsp for 2 people / 4 tsp for 4 people) to the charred corn. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Set aside. TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are "popping" out.
In a second small bowl, combine a generous drizzle of olive oil and 1/2 the garlic, then season with salt and pepper. Cut the mini flour tortillas into wedges. Place the tortilla wedges in a single layer on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle (or brush) with the garlic oil. Bake the tortilla wedges until lightly golden and crispy, 8-10 minutes. TIP: If the tortilla wedges don't fit in one layer, divide them between two oven trays.
While the tortilla chips are baking, return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, cook the chopped onion and remaining garlic until softened, 2-3 minutes. Add the tomato paste, Tex-Mex spice blend (see ingredients), BBQ marinated jackfruit and water and cook until warmed through and fragrant, 2-3 minutes.
Add a splash more water if the mixture seems dry, then season to taste. Sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese over the jackfruit mixture, then cover with a lid or foil and reduce the heat to low. Cook until the cheese has melted, 1-2 minutes.
Drain the pickled onion. Divide the garlic tortilla chips between plates and serve with the cheesy jackfruit, sour cream, charred corn salsa and pickled onion.
