Cook the second measure of pineapple and cumin seeds for 5-6 minutes, tossing occasionally, until lightly charred. Transfer to a bowl and add the remaining salsa ingredients and a pinch of salt. Toss together and set aside to serve.
- Warm tortillas: Wrap tortillas in foil and warm in oven for 10 minutes.
- Serve tortillas filled with vegan sour cream or yoghurt, mushrooms, salsa, radish and coriander. Serve lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
