COOL MEXICAN BEAN WRAPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/ gas 4. Peel and finely slice the onion, then deseed and slice up the pepper. Coarsely grate the cheese.
• 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.
