  • 2 carrots, grated
  • 2 tablespoons Mexican spice mix
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 can chopped tomatoes
  • 1 can mild chilli beans
  • 1 pack frozen corn
  • 1 cup vegetable stock
  • 1 pack grated Swiss cheese
  • 2 tomatoes

CRISPY TORTILLAS

  • 1 pack tortilla wraps
  • 1 teaspoon Mexican spice mix

TO SERVE

  • 1 pottle sour cream
  • 1 sachet chipotle sauce (optional, adults)
  • 1 pottle spicy pepitas

Steps

  1. oven grill to high. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
  2. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, oven-proof fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook onion, carrots, first measure of Mexican spice mix and salt for about 4 minutes, until tender.
  3. Add canned tomatoes, chilli beans, corn and stock to pan and reduce heat to low-medium to cook for about 5 minutes, or until chilli has thickened and reduced. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. While chilli cooks, cut tortilla wraps into 4 triangles and place on prepared tray in a single layer (don’t worry if the edges overlap). Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle over second measure of Mexican spice mix. Cook under the grill for about 3 minutes each side, until golden and crispy.
  5. Sprinkle cheese evenly over chilli. When tortillas have finished cooking, grill chilli in oven for about 3 minutes, until cheese is melted and golden.
  6. While chilli grills, dice tomatoes 1cm and sprinkle over chilli when ready to serve.
  7. divide cheesy bean chilli between bowls, top with a dollop of sour cream, a drizzle of chipotle sauce (if using) and a sprinkle of spicy pepitas. Serve crispy tortillas on the side for scooping up the cheesy bean chilli.
