Servings: 4-6 servings
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 (peeled and chopped) Onion
  • 1 (deseeded and chopped) Red pepper
  • 1-2 (chopped with seeds, adjust to taste) Green bird's eye chillies
  • 1 teaspoon Sea salt flakes
  • 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) Fresh coriander stalks
  • 800 grams (2 cans) Chopped tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon Tomato ketchup
  • 800 grams (2 cans, drained and rinsed) Black beans
  • 500 grams (2 cans, drained) Sweetcorn kernels
  • 150 grams Grated mature goat's cheddar
  • 6-7 Soft flour tortilla wraps

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and red pepper and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in chopped green chillies, sea salt, and chopped coriander stalks. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the chopped tomatoes and tomato ketchup to the pan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and let it gently cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the drained and rinsed black beans with the drained sweetcorn kernels.
  6. Spread a thin layer of the tomato sauce at the bottom of your prepared baking dish.
  7. Place one tortilla wrap over the sauce. Top with a layer of the bean and corn mixture, then a spoonful of the tomato sauce, and a light sprinkle of grated goat's cheddar.
  8. Repeat the layering process: tortilla, bean/corn, sauce, cheese, until you run out of ingredients, finishing with a layer of sauce and the remaining cheese on top. Use 6-7 tortillas depending on your dish size.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are lightly browned.
  10. Let stand for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh coriander if desired.
