Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large onion
  • 2 large green capsicums
  • 1 large carrot, grated
  • 2 400g tins red kidney beans
  • 40 g Mexican spice mix
  • 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
  • 2 cups grated cheese
  • 20 mini tortillas

Equipment

  • Sandwich press

Method
 

  1. Chop the onions and capsicums
  2. Heat oil on medium high in large frypan and saute onion and capsicum until almost soft, about 5 minutes
  3. Add grated carrot along with spice mix and cook until soft, 1-2 minutes
  4. Roughly mash half the beans then add all beans and barbecue sauce and cook for 2 min or until warmed through
  5. Spread about 1/3 cup of bean mixture onto a tortilla
  6. Sprinkle over a handful of cheese and top with another tortilla
  7. Cook in sandwich press on medium heat until tortilla is brown and the cheese has melted
  8. Repeat with remaining ingredients then cut into quarters or wedges and serve

Notes

  1. Leave a border at the edge of the tortilla without bean mixture as the sandwich press will squash it out to the sides
  2. These can easily be cooked in the oven too if you don’t have a sandwich press
