Step 1

Take the puff pastry out of the freezer to defrost about 30-40 minutes before you need it. Preheat the oven to 400 ºF and line two baking trays with parchment paper or silicon mats.

Step 2

Warm the 2 teaspoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the onion and a pinch of salt. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook another 30-60 seconds.

Step 3

Add the black beans, vegan chorizo (chopped up if it isn't already in a ground texture), chili powder, oregano, cumin, and cayenne. Use less cayenne to keep it mild or use more to make it spicy.

Step 4

Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the mixture is heated through and the chorizo is lightly browned. Add salt to taste, how much depends on the saltiness of the vegan chorizo, I used about 1/2 teaspoon salt. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to about room temperature.

Step 5

Roll out a sheet of defrosted puff pastry to about a 10 by 12 inch rectangle. It doesn't need to be exact. Layer on about half the vegan cheese and half the bean and chorizo mixture. Top with half the sliced scallions.

Step 6

Starting from the short end, gently roll the pastry up to make a log. Press the log with your hands to seal the seam and stick layers a bit. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry and the remaining filling.

Step 7

Wrap the logs in plastic wrap or place in a sealed container and put it in the fridge for 20 minutes for the puff pastry to chill. You can leave it at this point for up to 1-2 days, if you want to prepare it in advance.

Step 8

After chilling, uncover the roll and trim the edges to make a flat cut on either side. Slice each log into about 12 slices, it's ok if you end up with fewer however.

Step 9

Lay the slices on the baking trays, leaving a couple inches of space between them as they will expand in the oven. Bake for 18-20 minutes at 400 ºF or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 10

Enjoy warm or at room temperature with your favorite taco toppers (e.g. guacamole, vegan sour cream, salsa, hot sauce).
