Ingredients

  • 400g tin of black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 red onion, finely diced
  • 2 roasted red peppers, drained and diced
  • 2 plum tomatoes, diced
  • 1 avocado, sliced

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Method

STEP 1

Add 1tbsp of the vegetable oil to a large pan over a medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add ¾ of the red onion, and cook until its softened – around 4-5 minutes should do. Stir in the chilli paste and cook for another minute.

STEP 2

Add the black beans and red peppers to the pan and continue cooking until the beans are starting to dissolve, stirring regularly to avoid sticking. This should take another 5-7 minutes.

STEP 3

Distribute the bean mix between the four tortillas. Try to keep to the centre of the tortillas, forming a circle no more than 10cm across. Add grated cheese to each one – try to use about half the cheese in total – and 3 tortilla chips each.

STEP 4

In a small bowl, mix together the rest of the diced red onion with the tomatoes and coriander, then add to the tortillas. Finally, add the sliced avocado and the remaining cheese.

STEP 5

Fold in the tortilla – top and bottom first, then each side, forming a neat parcel.

STEP 6

Add the rest of the oil to a frying pan, and place over a medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add in the wraps, with the folded side facing down. Cook for a few minutes until crispy and lightly browned, then turn them over and repeat on the other side.
