Step-by-Step Instructions
- Roast the Cauliflower: Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Halve any large cauliflower florets. Place them on a baking tray, drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Spread in a single layer and roast until golden brown and tender, 15-18 minutes, turning halfway.
- Pickle the Onion: While the cauliflower roasts, zest and halve the lime. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the red onion. Place the onion in a small bowl with half the lime juice, sugar for pickling (see ingredients), and a pinch of salt. Mix and set aside.
- Time to Salsa: Dice the tomato into 1cm chunks. Drain the sweetcorn. In a medium bowl, mix the sweetcorn, tomato chunks, lime zest, remaining lime juice, and sugar for the salsa (see ingredients). Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Add the Spice: Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat (no oil). Add the chorizo and fry until browned, 3-4 minutes. In another small bowl, mix the chipotle paste (use less if milder heat is preferred) and honey (see ingredients). With 5 minutes of cooking time left for the cauliflower, pour the chipotle mixture over the florets, toss to coat, and return to the oven.
- It’s a Wrap: When nearly ready, warm the tortillas in the oven for 1-2 minutes.
- Finish and Serve: Spread mayonnaise (see ingredients) over each tortilla. Top with rocket, chorizo, chipotle-roasted cauliflower, and tomato salsa. Finish with pickled onions and crumbled cheese.
Chef’s Tip
For extra crunch, lightly toast the tortillas on a dry pan before serving.
