Ingredients

  • 3 medium tomatoes
  • 4 garlic cloves, (2 whole with skin on, 2 finely chopped)
  • 1 small red onion, peeled and quartered
  • 1 lime, juice only
  • 1 bunch coriander, (large) leaves chopped
  • 4 tbsp vegetable or olive oil
  • 1 green pepper, cut into 1cm dice
  • 2 fresh bay leaves, scrunched
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 200g passata
  • 800g black beans (or kidney beans), (2 x 400g tins) drained and rinsed
  • 10g dark chocolate, (2 squares)
  • 300g blue corn tortilla chips (or use any gluten-free plain tortilla chips)
  • 150g cheddar, coarsely grated
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 200ml soured cream, to serve
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges to serve
  • 2 green chillies, sliced to serve (optional)
  • 1 bottle hot sauce, to serve (optional)

Method

Step 1

In a pan over a high heat, dry-fry the tomatoes, whole garlic cloves and onion for 8-10 mins until charred all over (or use a hot grill). Cool slightly, then remove and discard the tomato and garlic skins and chop the flesh together with the onions on a board. Transfer to a bowl, mix in half the lime juice and half the coriander, then season the salsa with salt and pepper and put to one side.

Step 2

Set a pan over a moderate heat and add the oil, diced pepper and bay leaves. Cook for 8 mins until the pepper softens. Add the chopped garlic, cook for 2 mins, then add the spices, oregano, passata and beans. Cook for around 10 mins. Season to taste and roughly mash into a coarse purée (avoiding the bay leaf) using the back of a fork. You want a loose, drop-from-a-spoon consistency – add a splash of water if it needs it. Add the chocolate, stir through to melt, then take off the heat.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 210°C/190°C/gas 6-7. Put the tortilla chips in an even layer in an ovenproof dish and distribute the bean mixture over the top – leave some chips uncovered so they stay crispy. Sprinkle over the cheese and bake for 8-10 mins until it has melted. Remove from the oven.

Step 4

Meanwhile, dice the avocado into 1cm cubes and mix with the remaining lime juice and coriander, adding salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5

Top the tortilla chips with the salsa and avocado, then serve immediately with soured cream and lime wedges. Sprinkle with fresh chillies and a dash of hot sauce if you like more heat.
