          Instructions

          • To prepare the cheese sauce, combine ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Put in a sauce bottle to make pouring easier. 
          • To make the parmesan, combine the ingredients in a food processor and process to a rough breadcrumb-like consistency.
          • To make the black beans, put a small saucepan on the heat with a small amount of oil. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the quinoa and black beans and heat through, stirring, for 3 minutes. 
          • To make the corn, combine the chilli butter by combining the butter and chilli sauce in a bowl. Combine well.
          • Pre-heat a griddle and coat the corn ears in the chilli butter.
          • Place the corn on the griddle pan and cook each side for around 6 minutes each.
          • Meanwhile, combine the salsa ingredients in a bowl. 
          • When the corn is cooked through and slightly blackened, remove from the heat and place on a plate.
          • Cover the corn in a good squirt of the cheese sauce and sprinkle liberally with parmesan, turning the corn as you go. Add some chopped coriander.
          • When cool to touch, stand the corn on its end (on a chopping board) and remove the kernels by slicing downwards with a sharp knife. Be careful. 
          • Prepare the tortillas as per the packet instructions. 
          • To assemble the tacos, place a tortilla on a plate and smear with a good slice of avocado. Follow with the black beans and quinoa, a good spoon of the chilli corn, salsa and a good squeeze of lime. Add some more cheese sauce and extra chilli sauce if you like.
