Tutor's tips
- •Ensure you use pure ancho chili powder rather than a generic blend to achieve a deep, raisin-like sweetness and mild heat.
- •If the filling feels too dry, stir in a splash of lime juice or vegetable broth just before serving to loosen the texture.
- •For extra crunch, add finely shredded red cabbage or pickled red onions to the finished tacos.
