Ingredients

14 total
  • 1 (400g) tin chopped tomatoes
  • 1 tsp of smoked sweet paprika
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed or grated
  • 6 medium flour tortillas
  • 4 jalapeño chilli slices from a jar, finely chopped, plus extra slices to serve (optional)
  • 1 (300g) jar mild salsa dip
  • 2 (400g) tins kidney or black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 salad onions, trimmed and finely sliced
  • 150 ml of soured cream
  • 1 avacado, sliced
  • 100 g of cheddar, grated
  • 1 small handful of coriander sprigs
  • 1 onion, finely sliced
  • 1 tbsp of olive oil, plus extra for brushing

Method

5 steps
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the onion over a medium heat for 8-10 mins, stirring frequently, until softened.

  2. Step 2

    Stir through the garlic, then the paprika, and cook for 1-2 mins. Mix in the chopped tomatoes, beans, salsa and jalapeños. Season well, reduce the heat and allow to bubble for 10 mins, or until thickened.

  3. Step 3

    Brush the tortillas with a little oil and arrange 4 of them, oiled-side down, in a 23cm x 30cm ovenproof dish, lining the base and sides to create a tortilla ‘bowl’.

  4. Step 4

    Spoon the tomato mix over the tortillas. Lay the 2 remaining tortillas (oiled-side up) over the mix to roughly cover it, tucking in the edges. Sprinkle with cheese; bake for 15 mins, or until the cheese is melted.

  5. Step 5

    Serve topped with the avocado, soured cream, salad onions, coriander, extra jalapeños (if you like) and black pepper.
