Method

step 1

Quickly pickle the onion: put it in a bowl and sprinkle with the sugar and 1⁄2 tsp salt. Leave for 10 mins, then stir in the cider vinegar and leave to pickle for another 10 mins.
step 2

Meanwhile, stir the beans and chilli sauce into the Bolognese and heat for 10-15 mins until piping hot. Add a little water if the mixture seems too thick.
step 3

Heat the corn tortillas following pack instructions. Top with spoonfuls of the Bolognese, some pickled onions, lettuce, avocado and a dollop of soured cream.
