• Heat a little oil in a frying pan over a medium-low heat and gently fry the onion for 10 minutes, or until softened.
• Peel and crush the garlic, then add to the pan along with the chilli powder.
• Add the tomato purée and the tomatoes, breaking them up with a spoon as you go, then drain and add the kidney beans.
• Cook for 10 minutes, or until slightly reduced, then season to taste with sea salt and black pepper.
• In a separate pan, fry the pepper in a little oil until starting to soften, then set aside.
• Divide the filling mixture in half, then blitz one half with a stick blender to form a bean paste - if you don't have a stick blender, mash with a potato masher.
• Spread the tortillas with the warm bean paste, then add a serving spoon of the filling and a spoonful of red pepper, and sprinkle with cheese. Roll up the tortillas and place on greased baking tins.
• Bake for 5 to 10 minutes, or until golden and warmed through.
• Dress the salad leaves in a little oil and vinegar, then serve alongside your bean wraps.

MEXICAN VEGGIE BURGER

Steps:

• Lightly pulse the beans in a food processor, leaving some chunks for texture, or partially mash them with a potato masher. Place the beans into a large bowl, along with the rice.
• Finely chop the raw vegetables. I use my food processor, first cutting the vegetables into 1-inch pieces and then pulsing until finely chopped. Add the vegetables to the bowl with the beans and rice.
• Add the binder and seasonings to the bowl, and knead to make the mixture workable for forming burgers. Add the moistener, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the burgers don't hold together well. Chill for an hour or more, if time allows.
• Form the mixture into palm-size patties about ⅜-inch thick.
• Place the cornmeal or chickpea flour coating on a plate. Gently coat both sides of each burger, one at a time. Roll the edges against a flat surface to make a round shape with flat sides, and pat the coating onto the sides as well. This adds a nice crispy surface and helps the burgers keep their shape.
• Cook the burgers in a nonstick pan over medium heat for 5 minutes, then turn and cook the other side for 4 to 5 minutes more. You can also bake the burgers on a baking sheet at 350°F for about 20 minutes.
• Serve on buns or alone with your favorite condiments. Expect a savory, soft texture and a thin, crisp crust. Notes: Rice: Short-grain brown rice has a stickiness that holds the burgers together; substituting long-grain rice or another grain may result in a burger that falls apart more easily. For a more savory flavor, cook the rice in vegetable broth instead of water. Nuts: While the nuts add texture and flavor, you can eliminate them to reduce fat content.
