Ingredients:

1 tablespoon Olive Oil

1 Large Onion - finely chopped

​

4 garlic cloves finely chopped

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

400g kidney beans (or two tins)

2 teaspoons smoked paprika

​

8 flour tortillas

​

A 'clutch' of coriander leaves

200g tub of salsa

Method:

1.  Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion and garlic for 2 minutes.

​

2. Add the cumin seeds and cook for 1 further minute

​

3. Tip in the beans, smoked paprika and a splash (about 20 ml) of water.

​

4. Using a potato masher, break the beans down as they warm through to make a rough puree.  Season to taste.

​

5. Spread the refried beans onto 4 of the tortillas and spread them out with a spoon.  Scatter the coriander over the top.

​

6. With the remaining tortillas, dollop some salsa onto each of them spreading it out with the spoon. Then use these to top the beaned tortillas like a sandwich.

​

7. If there is still bits of bean and such in the pan then wipe it clean (make sure its not hot first!)

​

8. Return the frying pan to heat and cook each tortilla sandwich for roughly 2 mins on each side at a medium heat, or until they are crisp and golden.  Server them warm and cut into wedges with extra salsa and a salad.
