Your usual taco format, with a North African-inspired flavour detour.

Here’s how.

  1. 1

    Dress the cabbage

    Toss cabbage with half the lemon juice and salt. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the chickpeas

    Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chickpeas and cook for 5 minutes, then stir in harissa and the measured plain water. Cook for another 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Make lemon tahini

    Whisk tahini with remaining lemon juice and the warm water until smooth.

  4. 4

    Fill the tortillas

    Warm tortillas in a dry pan, then fill with chickpeas and cabbage. Drizzle over tahini sauce.

Harissa can be fiery. Start with a teaspoon if yours is particularly hot.
