  • ½ tsp chilli powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • 50g kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 tomatoes, diced
  • 1 tbsp sliced jalapeños

Method

5 steps
  1. Step 1

    Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add half the onion and cook for 3–4 mins or until softened then add the tempeh pieces and cook for a further 3 mins.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in the chilli powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, kidney beans and 120ml hot water, then season with black pepper. Reduce the heat and simmer for 4–5 mins.

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, to make the salsa, combine the remaining onion with the tomatoes, jalapeño, coriander, lime juice and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.

  4. Step 4

    Arrange the tortilla chips on a large, ovenproof platter or baking tray. Top with the tempeh mixture and sprinkle over the cheddar. Place under a hot grill for 1–2 mins, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.

  5. Step 5

    Top with the avocado and plenty of the fresh salsa, or add a dollop of soured cream, if you prefer.
