Ingredients:
– 400g Brussel Sprouts, prepped and cut in half
– 2 tsp Chipotle Chilli Paste
– 3 tbsp Soured Cream
– ½ Red Onion
– 100ml White Wine Vinegar
– 50ml Water
– 25g Sugar
– 1 Lime, cut into wedges
– 1 tsp Honey
– 1-2 Green Chilli, thinly sliced
– 1 bunch Coriander, chopped
– 25g roasted Peanuts, roughly chopped
– 6 Small Tortilla Wraps
– Light Olive Oil

Method:
– To make the pickling liquor, combine the vinegar, water and sugar in a small pan. Heat gently to dissolve the sugar before turning the heat up. When the pickling liquor comes to a simmer, remove from the heat.
– Slice the red onion thinly from root to tip, place in a heatproof bowl and pour over the still warm liquor. Allow to cool at room temp.
– To make the chipotle soured cream, mix 1 tsp of the chipotle paste into the soured cream and set aside.
– In a non-stick frying pan, heat 2 tbsp oil on a medium-high heat and fry the brussels sprouts until golden, after 3-5 minutes add in a splash of water, 1 tsp Chipotle Paste and the honey. Mix well on the heat for another minute, then season well with sea salt.
– Warm the tacos in a dry pan and drain the pickled red onion.
– Build the tacos by layering up chipotle soured cream, sprouts, green chilli, red onion, coriander and finish with a squeeze of lime and chopped peanuts.
– Enjoy!
