Method
To make the maple green chilli sauce:
- Put all ingredients, except the maple syrup, into a blender and blend into a chunky sauce.
- Scrape the sauce into a shallow saucepan, add the maple syrup and 100ml water (just under a cup) and bring to a simmer.
- Simmer for around 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce becomes syrupy and glossy.
- Being careful not to burn the sauce, continue to simmer and stir constantly for 5 more minutes, until it has reduced and easily coats the back of the spoon.
- Pour the sauce straight into a sterilised jar.
TO MAKE THE CRISPY TACOS:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Put the tortillas straight on the wire racks of the oven.
- Cook for 5 minutes or until crispy.
TO MAKE THE TOMATO SAUCE:
- Pour the olive oil into a saucepan on medium heat, add the onion and cook until translucent.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, garlic and maple syrup.
- Cook for 5 minutes then add the kidney beans and season with salt and pepper.
ASSEMBLY:
- Spread three tablespoons of tomato sauce on each taco.
- Top each with a pan-fried egg and 1 tsp of the maple green chilli sauce per taco.
- Garnish with chopped coriander, rocket and lime wedges.
